Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Partial-thickness burns can be either superficial or deep. This patient's burn, which appears moist with blisters, is consistent with a superficial partial-thickness burn. A superficial burn would involve only the surface layer of skin. Redness would be expected. Deep partial-thickness and full-thickness burns would be deeper and involve more damage to the dermis, epidermis, and underlying tissue

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
The nurse should anticipate this patient's needs for analgesia and administer pain medication to promote the patient's comfort during the exercise session. Arm exercise is not related to the amount of urine in the catheter bag. Linen changes do not impact range-of-motion activities. The dressing is changed according to the physician's orders or as needed.
