Answer to Question 1

1,2,3
Rationale 1: The body systems model focuses on abnormalities.

Answer to Question 2

2,3
Rationale: Elevating the arm will help to make gravity work with the body to reduce edema, and applications of heat will cause vasodilation, which will also help to remove excess fluid. The nurse must use caution when applying heat to avoid burning the client. Massage of the arm could cause additional trauma. Increasing activity levels will have no helpful affect, and it is not necessary to keep the client supine so long as the arm is elevated in whatever position the client assumes.
