Answer to Question 1

D
A theory is a purposeful set of assumptions or propositions that identify the relationships be-tween concepts. Theories are useful because they provide a systematic view of explaining, pre-dicting, and prescribing phenomena.
The description Mental maps that make sense of information and decisional processes explains the idea of conceptual frameworks, which link ideas together.
The description Mental formulations of objects or events explains the idea of concepts.
The description Aspects of reality that can be consciously sensed explains the idea of phenomena.

Answer to Question 2

C

Feedback
A Exposure to urine, bile, stool, acidic fluid, and purulent wound exudates carries a moderate risk for skin breakdown.
B Exposure to urine, bile, stool, acidic fluid, and purulent wound exudates carries a moderate risk for skin breakdown.
C Exposure to gastric and pancreatic drainage has the highest risk for skin breakdown. A patient whose skin is exposed to excessive moisture has an increased risk of skin breakdown due to changes in skin pH and maceration of skin.
D Serosanguineous drainage is not caustic to the skin, and the risk of skin breakdown from exposure to this fluid is low.
