Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

In patch testing, an adhesive patch with common allergens is placed on the client's back. The patch from the patch test is usually removed after 48 to 72 hours. Skin prick and skin injection tests are used to test for immediate reactions. The client should not shower or exercise to the point of perspiring while the patch from the patch test is in place.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D

Elevating the affected extremity will reduce edema and promote perfusion. Elevating the head of bed, leaving the head of bed flat, and abducting the extremity will not increase healing or improve the client's long-range prognosis.
