Answer to Question 1

A
Sepsis, meningitis, and lymphangitis are the most common complications of cellulitis for adults caused by Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Tinea pedis/corporis are fungal infections. Urticaria and psoriasis are noninfectious skin disorders.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Consistent exercise would reduce the pooling of blood in the lower extremities and improve circulation. Diet teaching would not improve the patient's tissue perfusion. Inspecting the lower extremities and measuring blood pressure are assessment actions.
