Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, D
The patient and family caregiver will need to learn to monitor the patient's weight, blood glucose levels, and intake and output. They will also need to know how to perform catheter care and dressing changes. Home-based PN can be managed to allow the patient a reasonable amount of mobility and limiting activity should not be required.

Answer to Question 2

Irrigation
Irrigation uses the mechanical force (high or low) of a stream of solution to remove debris, bacteria, and necrotic tissue from a wound.
