Answer to Question 1

D
Purulent drainage is a creamy, viscous, pale yellow or yellow-green fluid exudate that is the result of fluid remains of liquefied necrosis of tissues. Bacterial infection is the most common cause. The character of the pus, including its color, consistency, quantity, or odor, may be of diagnostic significance.

Answer to Question 2

D
Coaching in relaxation techniques such as deep breathing is an effective intervention.
