Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The nurse should wrap the amputated leg using the recurrent turn technique. A recurrent turn is made by passing the roll back and forth over the tip of a body part. Once several recurrent turns are made, the bandage is anchored by completing the application with another basic turn such as the figure-of-eight. A recurrent turn is especially beneficial when wrapping the head or the stump of an amputated limb. A figure-of-eight turn is best when bandaging a joint such as the elbow or knee. A spica turn is a variation of the figure-of-eight pattern; the wrap includes a portion of the trunk or chest. Spiral turns are used when wrapping cylindrical parts of the body such as the arms and legs.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Housekeepers who follow the principles of medical asepsis carry out concurrent disinfection methods. The housekeeping personnel should wet-mop floors and damp-dust furniture to avoid distributing microorganisms on dust and air currents. They should never place clean items on the floor or on the furniture. They should always clean less-soiled areas before grossly dirty ones.
