   2. Assess for redness, pain, and drainage
   3. Blood cultures
   4. Breath sounds

Question 2

The nurse working with an older adult client with the diagnosis Chronic low self-esteem would use reminiscence as an aid to increasing self-esteem because it promotes a sense of:

Answer to Question 1

2. Assess for redness, pain, and drainage

Rationale:
Classic signs of cellulitis are swelling, pain, redness, and possibly drainage at the site. Bun, creatinine, and blood cultures are ordered by the physician and are not nursing assessments. Breath sounds are not indicated at present, as the infection is in the foot.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water.
