Answer to Question 1

B
Nephrotoxic drugs may chemically alter the glomeruli, which make them ineffective.

Answer to Question 2

D
The nurse should first cover the area with a clear, occlusive dressing to protect the area from scratching and infection. The nurse should then document the findings, notify the primary care provider, and review nutritional intake to confirm adequacy for wound healing.
