Answer to Question 1

D
Response:
The hydroactive skin method is the most appropriate when skin breakdown and irritation are present at the insertion site. The hydroactive dressing material prevents further irritation and allows the skin breakdown to heal. The other methods all stabilize the gastrostomy tube, but the hydroactive dressing method is most appropriate when irritation or skin breakdown is present.

Answer to Question 2

B
Response:
The group needs to address cardiovascular disease, the number-one cause of death in women regardless of racial or ethnic group. Smoking is related to heart disease and cancer, although heart disease and cancer can occur in any woman regardless of her smoking history. Cancer is the second leading cause of death, with women having a one in three lifetime risk of developing cancer. Diabetes is another important health condition that can affect women, but it is not the major health problem that heart disease is.
