Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 3, 6
Care of the client recovering from an amputation includes providing pain medication 30 minutes before stump care; washing the stump daily with mild soap and warm water; allowing the stump to dry open to the air for 10 minutes after washing; massaging the stump daily; avoiding elevating the stump on a pillow to prevent contractures; and lying prone for 10 to 20 minutes every day to prevent contractures.

Answer to Question 2

3
Women do not experience the effects of hemochromatosis until menopause when the regular loss of blood stops. This disorder is a genetic disorder and can affect individuals of all ages. The nurse should not doubt the physician's diagnosis. All women do not have this disorder.
