Answer to Question 1

C
The Sitz bath cleanses and reduces pain and inflammation in perineal and anal areas. It is used for a patient who has undergone rectal or perineal surgery or childbirth or has local irritation from hemorrhoids or fissures. There are two categories of baths: cleansing and therapeutic. Cleansing baths include the bed bath, tub bath, sponge bath at the sink, shower, and bag bath.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C
Cancer pain may be acute, chronic, or intermittent, and it usually is related to tumor recurrence or treatment. The patient is the only one who knows whether pain is present and what the experience is like. It is not the patient's responsibility to convince the nurse that he has pain; it is the nurse's responsibility to believe the patient.
