Answer to Question 1

4. Dress an infant with a fever.

Rationale:
Sweating a fever is a folk treatment, and the nurse would need to teach the mother that this method of treatment causes dehydration and an eventual rise in temperature. It is contraindicated to sponge with cool water. Intake of solid food is less important that providing extra fluids. Teaching the mother to take a temperature is not as high a priority as addressing the overdressing of the infant.

Answer to Question 2

1. Deficit Knowledge

Rationale:
The client states that she has no idea how she contracted the illness. This would indicate a deficit in knowledge regarding the transmission of sexually transmitted illnesses. There is not enough information to determine if the client has sexual dysfunction, ineffective coping, or anxiety.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water.
