Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Clients who are taking corticosteroid medications are at high risk for delayed healing and wound complications such as infections, because corticosteroids decrease the inflammatory process that may in turn delay healing.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Wound healing requires adequate proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals. Calories and proteins are necessary to rebuild cells and tissues. Vitamins C and D, zinc, and adequate fluids are also necessary for wound healing.
