Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
The preauricular lymph nodes are located in the front of the client's ears.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Beginning the assessment with the nontender areas permits the nurse to establish the borders of the affected area. Examination of the painful area can exacerbate symptoms, increase the pain, and force termination of the assessment process. The nurse should begin the assessment of the client's abdomen with inspection of the abdomen. The nurse should auscultate the client's abdomen, and then percuss the abdomen. The nurse should inquire about the characteristics of the client's pain.
