Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The feet are the most distal to the heart and receive less blood flow than other organs and tissues, prolonging the healing time after surgery. The other explanations are not correct.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
All actions are appropriate for this client. However, for safety, the nurse should place priority on proper handling and disposal of chemotherapeutic agents.
