Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

Small areas of hyperpigmentation, or liver spots, occur as an age-related skin change because of hyperplasia of melanocytes in sun-exposed areas. The nurse should instruct the client to avoid the sun or use a sunscreen to reduce skin damage. The nurse should not instruct the client to spend at least 15 minutes each day in the sun to avoid skin damage. The intake of dietary fat or calcium will not affect the development of liver spots.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D

The nurse should provide information on home remedies that could help in the healing of the client's burns. Aloe vera gel is useful to treat superficial burns. Evening primrose oil is helpful with atopic eczema. Chamomile is helpful with skin inflammation. Vitamin C is not recommended to help with the healing of burns.
