Answer to Question 1

A
A red rash on the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet is consistent with the secondary phase of syphilis. The nurse should notify the charge nurse and health care provider to allow for further workup and treatment as indicated. Floating the patient's heels or repositioning addresses prevention of skin breakdown, and emollients help decrease dry skin.

Answer to Question 2

A
Endocrine glands secrete directly into the bloodstream, whereas exocrine glands secrete via a duct.
