Answer to Question 1

A
A calm and supportive attitude will help the patient identify feelings. The nurse should put the dressing process on hold so that the nurse can focus attention on a therapeutic response to the patient's concerns. The nurse should then ask an open-ended question to give the patient freedom to express her concerns. Making a threatening statement about consequences of missed treat-ments only exacerbates the patient's concern. Continuing to dress the patient while offering empty reassurance or changing the subject ignores the problem at hand.

Answer to Question 2

Bacteria

Bacteria are commonly associated with infections that lead to sepsis and septic shock.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
