Answer to Question 1

A
Much of the information gathered from a patient comes from questioning them directly. A closed question is focused and seeks a particular answer. For example, when interviewing a newly admitted patient with diabetes, the nurse asks, What time do you take your insulin? A specific question with a specific answer is a typical closed question, which generally requires only one or two words in response.

Answer to Question 2

collagen
Collagen forms as an immature scar over a new surgical wound.
