Answer to Question 1

4
In clients diagnosed with invasive or infiltrating tumors such as those of stage III or stage IV, the entire larynx is removed. The other surgeries only remove portions of the larynx and would be appropriate for lesser stages of the disease.

Answer to Question 2

4
The initial intervention for a client with epistaxis is to show the client how to lean forward and pinch the nose against the nasal septum for about 5 to 10 minutes continuously. The other interventions are not necessary at this time.
