Answer to Question 1

B
For a patient with a hydrocele, nursing interventions consist of maintaining bed rest, scrotal support with elevation, ice to edematous areas, and frequent changes of dressings to avoid skin impairment.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Reorientation, or reality therapy, can be a useful intervention in patients for whom it is appropriate in light of the severity of their cognitive deficits. Despite not slowing the progress of the disease itself, it can still be of benefit when living with the effects of dementia.
