Answer to Question 1

B
When assessing a patient's stress and coping interventions, develop a partnership with the patient. It is necessary to prioritize the patient's needs during this time of stress. This requires that the nurse focus the patient, learn about the patient's perception of the event, and making sure the safety of the patient and/or family is at the highest priority.

Answer to Question 2

B
Shear is the force exerted against the skin while the skin remains stationary and the bony struc-tures move. For example, when the head of the bed is elevated, gravity causes the bony skeleton to pull toward the foot of the bed, while the skin remains against the sheets.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water.
