Answer to Question 1

A
The fact that the nurse senses something is not right about the situation is intuition. Intuition is the inner sensing or gut feeling that something is so. For example, a nurse walks into a patient's room and, by looking at the patient's appearance without the benefit of a thorough assessment, senses that he or she has worsened physically. Reflection is a part of critical thinking that involves the process of purposefully thinking about or recalling a situation to discover its purpose or meaning. Critical thinking involves recognizing that an issue (e.g., patient problem) exists, analyzing information related to the issue (e.g., clinical data about a patient), evaluating information (including assumptions and evidence), and drawing conclusions. The nursing process is a five-step approach that incorporates diagnostic reasoning and clinical decision making.

Answer to Question 2

C
Causes of health careacquired infection include contact between drainage bag port and conta-minated surface, an open urinary drainage system, failure to use aseptic technique during dressing changes, and failure to change IV access site when inflammation first appears.

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. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
