Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

A rebound phenomenon occurs at the time the maximum therapeutic effect is achieved and the opposite effects begin, and can result in a burn. Vasodilation is the desired effect of heat. Heat tolerance begins shortly after applying the heat pack as the skin adapts to the warmth. Systemic effects will occur when heat is applied to a large localized area of the body, increasing cardiac output and pulmonary ventilation.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1,3,4

The nurse must document the use of sterile skill when performing wound care that requires sterile technique. The nurse would also include documentation of the size and appearance of the wound and how the client tolerated the procedure. It is not necessary to include which sterile supplies are available for the next provider. The nurse cannot delegate the maintenance of the sterile field and sterile technique to the UAP.
