Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: When the nurse asks the client to describe something, the client is in control, and feels that the nurse is interested in hearing more about him. The other questions all require a yes or no answer, and do not allow the client to take the lead, nor do they promote the establishment of a good rapport.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: This client is at risk due to immunosuppression and an inadequate immune response to pathogens. While the postoperative wound might be the pathogens' easiest entry point, infection could occur because of the client's IV site, airway, or any other entry point, so the immune suppression is the primary concern, creating a susceptible host. Nutritional and hydration status are unknown.
