Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2,3,4
Rationale 1: The application of heat, not cold, dilates blood vessels.
Rationale 2: The application of cold does constrict blood vessels.
Rationale 3: The application of cold does decrease inflammation.
Rationale 4: The application of cold does reduce localized pain.
Rationale 5: The application of heat, not cold, provides a calming sedative effect.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Impaired Skin Integrity is appropriate if the client has an alteration in the epidermis or dermis.
Rationale 2: Since the client is experiencing episodes of incontinence without any current changes in skin integrity, the client is at Risk for Impaired Skin Integrity.
Rationale 3: Impaired Tissue Integrity is appropriate if the client has damage to mucous membranes, integument, or subcutaneous tissues.
Rationale 4: Risk for Infection would be appropriate if the client has severe skin impairment, the client is immunosuppressed, or the wound is caused by trauma.
