Answer to Question 1

3
A heterograft (xenograft) is a graft of skin obtained from another species, such as a pig. An autograft is a permanent graft. A homograft, or cryopreserved cadaveric allograft, is a graft of skin obtained from a cadaver 6 to 24 hours after death that is used as a temporary graft. An allograft is a graft of skin from someone of the same species.

Answer to Question 2

3
The highest priority would be to maintain the airway with adequate oxygenation and ventilation. The other nursing diagnoses would not be the first priority.
