Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Purulent exudate is thick, and can vary in color, including green and yellow.
Rationale 2: Serous drainage appears watery.
Rationale 3: Sanguineous drainage is red because of the high number of red blood cells.
Rationale 4: Serosanguinous drainage is watery with red blood cells.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1,3,4,5
Rationale 1: The older person is more prone to impaired skin integrity because of decreased strength and elasticity of the skin due to changes in the collagen fibers of the dermis.
Rationale 2: Elevated body temperature does impact a person's skin integrity, but this could occur at any age, and not just in an older client.
Rationale 3: The older person is more prone to impaired skin integrity because of diminished pain perception due to a reduction in the number of cutaneous end organs responsible for the sensation of pressure and light touch.
Rationale 4: The older person is more prone to impaired skin integrity because of generalized thinning of the epidermis.
Rationale 5: The older person is more prone to impaired skin integrity because of increased dryness due to a decrease in the amount of oil produced by sebaceous glands.
