Answer to Question 1

1, 3, 5
There are three basic categories of shock syndrome: 1) hypovolemic, 2) cardiogenic, and 3) distributive. Subcategories of distributive shock include neurogenic, anaphylactic, and septic. Chronic is not a type of shock.

Answer to Question 2

2
Clients and their family members' knowledge and practice of foot care should be assessed regularly. Clients should be instructed to wash their feet daily with warm water and mild soap. The feet should be patted dry, particularly between the toes. The feet should be examined daily for cuts, blisters, and reddened areas. Toenails should be cut with clippers, not scissors. The shoes of a client diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus should fit properly to prevent foot problems.
