Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: Discussing the sites and safety is an example of use of the cognitive domain. Asking the client to demonstrate giving the injection is an example of psychomotor domain. Demonstration and role modeling are methods of applying a learning theory. Adaptation to a changing health status is a topic of client education.

Answer to Question 2

3,4
Rationale: Exposure to the air can help to thoroughly dry the area and prevent further skin damage. Over-the-counter creams or petroleum jelly can create a barrier between the injured skin and further exposure to urine and stool, preventing further skin breakdown. The area should be washed with a mild soap and water, not a strong antiseptic soap that will cause further damage. Diaper wipes should be avoided because many contain alcohol, which will further damage the skin. Changing brand of diapers is recommended if diaper dermatitis develops without a known cause, but in this case, the cause was diarrhea, so there is no need to change brands of diapers.
