Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2

1. The client might have difficulty with inspection, but normally, pain would alert a client that there was a wound.
2. Older clients have a decreased pain perception and might not notice a small sore.
3. Bathing does not affect the client's ability to feel pain.
4. If the client did not know how to treat the wound, the client would seek help when the wound was discovered.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2

1. The iris of the eye regulates the light that enters the eye by manipulating the pupils.
2. The lacrimal apparatus includes the tear ducts, which are responsible for lubricating the eye.
3. The eye muscles control movement of the eye.
4. The eyelids trap dust and debris as a protective mechanism.
