Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: The method of folding the soiled parts under itself reduces the risk of contamination and the risk that microorganisms will be shaken into the air. Balling linen risks contaminated areas on the outer surface. Folding the linen in half is less effective than folding dirty areas inward at reducing contaminated surfaces on the outside. Option 4 describes the procedure for making an occupied bed, not an unoccupied bed.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: Pain that lasts only through the recovery period is described as acute pain; neuropathic pain is the result of a disturbance of the nerve pathways either from past or continuing tissue damage that results in pain; visceral pain results from stimulation of pain receptors in the abdominal cavity, cranium, and thorax
