Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Patients with neurologic deficits such as peripheral neuropathy resulting from diabetes may not be able to identify extremes of hot and cold. Patients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and asthma are not likely to be injured by temperature extremes. Patients with a stroke may have some alteration in sensation on one side of their body but can compensate by using the other side, and they are at less risk than a patient with diabetes.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Any interruption in the skin, which is the body's first line of defense, can potentially lead to infection. Both imbalanced nutrition and deficient fluid volume could have dry skin as a symptom. Acute pain is not appropriate.
