Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: The surgical wound typically heals by primary intention, where tissues have been approximated and there is minimal or no tissue loss; it characteristically has minimal granulation tissue and scarring.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale 1: Typically, the industrial nurse provides health screenings, such as TB testing, and client teaching after a work injury. The nurse working in the clinic or physician's office prepares clients to be seen by the doctor. Monitoring client's vital signs every four hours and their response to medication therapy are typical of inpatient nursing care.
