Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
After amputation, the nurse needs to ensure that the client's wound heals and no complications such as joint contractures or infection develop. This is a priority in the client's recovery because complications delay rehabilitation. This action is a priority over measurements, provision of assistive devices, and even the client's ability to ambulate.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Since the client responds better to health teaching when he is motivated and is assured about its benefits, the client's learning style falls into the affective domain. The affective domain is a style of processing that appeals to a person's feelings, beliefs, or values. This learning style would be suitable for this client. The cognitive domain is a style of processing information by listening to or reading facts and descriptions. The psychomotor domain is a style of processing that focuses on learning by doing. The interpersonal domain is a style of processing that focuses on learning through social relationships.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
