Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 4, 5
Risk factors for delayed wound healing include ischemia, medications such as beta-blockers, smoking, exposure to cold, repetitive injury, altered nutrition infection, anti-inflammatory steroids, and older age. Ambulating in the room several times a day may encourage wound healing. Skin warm and dry will not delay wound healing.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 5, 6
Gloves should be worn when in contact with blood, body fluids, secretions, excretions, contaminated items, mucous membranes, and nonintact skin. Gloves are not needed when delivering a meal try or providing medications.
