Answer to Question 1

Answer:2
Rationale: When the burn is circumferential,blood flow can become restricted due to edema and result in tissue hypoxia;therefore,the priority diagnosis is a Risk for Altered Tissue Perfusion to the extremity.Infection,nutrition,and mobility would have second priority in this case.

5. The incubation period for hepatitis B is 45-160 days.
