Answer to Question 1

2,3,5
Rationale 1: Minimize visits until client is no longer infectious.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: Diapers are so absorbent, they make it impossible to squeeze or withdraw fluid using a syringe. The best means of measuring output is to weigh diapers, with every mg equaling 1 mL.
