A. Massage can damage underlying tissue.
C. Angle of insertion is 90 degrees for an obese client.

Answer to Question 2

C
If skin is inflamed, instruct patients to use only warm water rinse without soap for cleansing.
Instruct the patient on how to manage a transdermal patch that begins to peel off before the next dose is due. Rather than tape the patch or cover it, instruct the patient to remove the patch, clean the skin, and apply a new patch to a different area. Instruct the patient to wrap applicators, used patches, and similar materials and dispose of them into cardboard or plastic disposable containers. Careful disposal is necessary to ensure the safety of the patient, other adults, pets, and children.
