Answer to Question 1

A
A calm and supportive attitude will help the patient identify feelings. The nurse should put the dressing process on hold so that the nurse can focus attention on a therapeutic response to the patient's concerns. The nurse should then ask an open-ended question to give the patient freedom to express her concerns. Making a threatening statement about consequences of missed treat-ments only exacerbates the patient's concern. Continuing to dress the patient while offering empty reassurance or changing the subject ignores the problem at hand.

Answer to Question 2

Bacteria

Bacteria are commonly associated with infections that lead to sepsis and septic shock.
