Answer to Question 1

1,2,3,5
Rationale: Urticaria is a localized rash that is generalized over the body.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: It is the nurse's responsibility to maintain a hygienic environment, so the nurse should straighten the room to prevent injury as the highest priority. While the nurse might want to teach the UAP to straighten the room as part of the bath, it is not the first priority. Telling the teen to clean her room is a parental action, not a nursing action. Housekeeping isn't necessary, because the room is not dirty; it is cluttered, and this can be handled by the nurse.
