Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
All valuables, such as jewelry, credit cards, and cash should be sent home with a family member. The nurse should place special items, such as eyeglasses, on the bedside table or in the drawer for easy reach.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
In a pedicle graft, one end of the graft remains attached to the donor site so that it can continue to receive nourishment until new circulation is established. The other end is attached to the recipient site on the same client's body. A pedicle graft is used when a large area of skin is to be replaced, such as on an ear, part of a hand or foot, or a large part of the face. A graft would not normally be used for a stage II decubitus ulcer, and would not be used to treat eczema or keloids.
