Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, D
For a client with eczematous dermatitis, the goal of comfort measures is to decrease inflammation and help dbride crusts and scales. The nurse should implement cool, moist compresses and tepid baths with additives such as cornstarch. Topical corticosteroids are a pharmacologic intervention. A heating pad and a back rub with baby oil are not appropriate for this client and could increase inflammation and discomfort.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Autocontamination is the transfer of microorganisms from one area to another area of the same client's body, causing infection of a previously uninfected area. Although all techniques listed can help reduce the risk for infection, only changing gloves between performing wound care on different parts of the client's body can prevent autocontamination.
