Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Although amputation is a reconstructive surgery, the patient's body image will be disturbed. The patient's reluctance to look at the stump or participate in care supports this problem identification. The patient's reluctance to look at the wound does not indicate insufficient nutrition or a risk for infection or for chronic pain.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
The four therapies included in RICE are rest for the injured area, the application of ice for 20 minutes four to eight times a day, compression with an elastic bandage wrap or device, and elevation to help reduce swelling and pain. CT scan, elimination of pain, and immobilization are not part of the RICE treatment plan.
