Answer to Question 1

2
Explanation:
1. The Jobst stockings, or pressure garments, do not prevent pain. They are used to prevent development of hypertrophic scarring and contractures.
2. During the rehabilitation stage, Jobst stockings, or pressure garments, are used to reduce development of hypertrophic scarring and contractures.
3. The Jobst pressure garments are used to prevent or minimize the development of hypertrophic scarring and contractures.
4. The elastic pressure garments are used to prevent development of hypertrophic scarring and contractures. They do not prevent the formation of thrombus in the burn area.

Answer to Question 2

2, 3, 5
Explanation:
1. The infant should be allowed to remain in the lap of the mother during as much of the examination as possible in order to enhance cooperation.
2. It is appropriate for the nurse to use toys to enhance cooperation during the infant assessment.
3. The nurse should first touch the infant's feet before moving onto the trunk to enhance cooperation during the assessment process.
4. It is not necessary to keep the infant clothed during the assessment process. The nurse should, however, ensure the room is warm enough for the removal of clothing during the assessment process.
5. It is appropriate for the nurse to observe the interaction between infant and mother while the mother holds the infant during the assessment process.
