Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: The perception of pain is greater when the client is tired. The nurse can suggest a rest period or nap in the late afternoon to reduce fatigue rather than ambulation, which will further tire the client. There is no information that suggests the client is constipated or has a wound infection.

Answer to Question 2

1,3,5
Rationale: The diabetic has decreased circulation to the feet, and is prone to infection if skin integrity is interrupted. Shoes that rub can cause open sores. A podiatrist should treat the diabetic's ingrown toenails to prevent cuts and open sores. Pedicures at salons can cause cuts and possible infections. The diabetic should never use hot water, due to the risk of burns, and should not go barefoot, because of the risk for injury.

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels.
