Answer to Question 1

C
Maintaining client privacy during procedures that may require some body exposure is an example of manipulating the client's environment. A care environment must be safe and conducive to implementation of therapies.
Delegating ambulation of clients to the unregulated care provider is an example of organizing personnel (resources) for care delivery.
Providing pain medication before a dressing change is an example of organizing care delivery specific to the client. Before beginning to perform interventions, the nurse should make the client as physically and psychologically comfortable as possible.
Repositioning the client q2h is an example of organizing care delivery to promote client comfort and prepare the client for nursing intervention.

Answer to Question 2

D
A concept map is a diagram of client problems and interventions that shows their relations to one another.
The use of a concept map promotes critical thinking and helps the nurse to organize complex client data, process complex relationships, and achieve a holistic view of the client's situation. The purpose is not quality assurance in the health care facility.
Multidisciplinary communication is enhanced with the use of critical pathways, not concept maps.
Standardized or computerized care plans, not concept maps, provide a standardized format for client problems. A concept map is highly individualized.

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.
