Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: The blister and reduced sensation in some areas indicate the burn is a deep partial-thickness burn. A superficial burn can be red, a superficial partial-thickness burn would not blister, and a full-thickness burn would be black, charred, and leathery, and the client would have no pain, because nerve endings would have been damaged.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: The front of each leg is 9, and the back of each leg is 9 for a total of 4 X 9 = 36.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
