Answer to Question 1

A
The comfort zone for most individuals is the range between 65 F and 75 F (18.3 C to 23.9 C). The other ranges do not reflect the average person's comfort zone.

Answer to Question 2

D
An obese client is susceptible to poor wound healing and wound infection because of the struc-ture of fatty tissue, which contains a poor blood supply. This increases the risk for dehiscence.
An obese client is not at greater risk for anemia. A client who is malnourished is more susceptible to being anemic.
An obese client is not more susceptible to seizures.
An obese client is not more susceptible to protein loss. A client with liver disease may have al-tered protein metabolism.
