Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale 1: Flexibility is an important skill when organizing the clinical day.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: The nurse would want the client to understand that the time to call the doctor is before a pressure ulcer forms. Noticing tissue pain or redness would be an early sign of a potential ulcer. Hot-water baths will contribute to skin breakdown. A blister on an area of the body is not necessarily a reason to notify the doctor. A blister on a bony prominence is already a stage 2 decubitus, and the client needs to notify the doctor at stage 1 or before.
