Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: Pain will decrease the client's ability to learn, and should be treated to increase the client's ability to concentrate. The decision to assess vital signs is determined by the client's physical condition, and will have no effect on learning. Assisting the client into a chair prior to teaching might increase the client's pain level and tire the client, creating a barrier to learning. The client's questions should be answered during and after the teaching session, not before beginning.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: Wilms' tumor is well encapsulated, and this capsule helps to slow metastasis of the cancer cells. It is important no palpation is done, to prevent damage to the capsule.
