Answer to Question 1

4
Indomethacin can cause nausea, dyspepsia, gastrointestinal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, and flatulence. This is the statement that would indicate the need for further instruction about this medication. The client should regularly have her eyes, kidneys, and liver checked for impairment.

Answer to Question 2

3
Exercise of the site may cause dislodgement of the skin graft. The graft should be examined every 24 hours because drainage or blood can accumulate under the graft and cause nonadherence. Dressings should be removed slowly and carefully so that the graft is not disturbed.
