Answer to Question 1

3. Monitor for signs of infection such as fever, chills, malaise, and redness or tenderness at the site..

Rationale:
Infection may be manifested by fever, chills, erythema, tenderness, and drainage at the site, especially if it is cloudy or serous. Changes in the color, amount, and odor from drainage are cause for concern and should be monitored. The physician must be notified if these symptoms occur. Pustules are never to be squeezed open as there is risk of greater infection. Stopping antibiotics before the doses are complete causes resistance.

Answer to Question 2

4. Soy and black cohosh can be used to manage the hot flashes associated with menopause.

Rationale:
The hot flashes can be successfully managed with soy and black cohosh. Estrogen is not the only reliable method of treatment for hot flashes. Olive oil is not used to manage hot flashes. Advising the client to wait is inappropriate.
