The nurse working in a plastic surgeon's office admits a client for a consult about possible liposuction. The client states, I am so sick of dieting. It would be much easier to just have this fat surgically removed.
 
   The nurse responds most accurately by saying: 1. Liposuction should not be considered a replacement for dieting, because remaining fat cells can expand if excess calories are taken in.
  2. Now you will be able to eat what you want so long as you don't eat excessive numbers of calories.
  3. While liposuction will reduce the need for dieting, it will not fully eliminate it.
  4. You will need to diet even more carefully after liposuction, because you will be at greater risk for fat cell production.

Question 2

The nurse identifies clients likely to have clean wounds, including:(Select all that apply) Standard Text: Select all that apply.
 
  1. A client with multiple contusions

  3. A client who was in a motorcycle accident
  4. A client who has purulent drainage
  5. A client with a laceration from a knife

Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: Liposuction does not replace dieting, because remaining fat cells can enlarge and fill the space left by removal of other cells, returning the area to the same condition as before if care is not taken to exercise and take in no more calories than are burned.

Answer to Question 2

1,2
Rationale: Contusions are closed wounds, and unlikely to be contaminated
