Answer to Question 1

D
The nurse should acknowledge the patient's feelings and promote therapeutic communication. While all of the other statements are true, none of them investigate the underlying cause of the patient's fear. Reassurance about the length of the procedure or the sensation that the patient might experience may be indicated after the patient explains more about specific concerns. While the patient can refuse to have the procedure, dismissing the patient is not an appropriate or the-rapeutic statement.

Answer to Question 2

D
LH is produced by the anterior pituitary gland. It targets the ovaries. LH stimulates ovulation and production of progesterone. LH does not affect maintenance of secondary sex characteristics, fluid retention, or menstrual cycle regularity.

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.
