Answer to Question 1

C
Self-image and intimacy may be negatively affected after cancer surgery. It is a positive sign that the client is comfortable having her husband perform this task for her.
Although the client may be reluctant to have health care professionals see her chest scar, her his-tory of cancer surgery should direct the nurse to the more related option.
While the client may prefer to protect her modesty and privacy, the client's history of cancer surgery should direct the nurse to the more related option.
Although the client may not be comfortable with the care she is receiving, the client's history of cancer surgery should direct the nurse to the more related option.

Answer to Question 2

D
All blood transfusions must have a filter to prevent microemboli from being administered to the patient. The patient's blood should not be aspirated to mix with the infusion blood. The blood should not have air bubbles to vent; if a bag of blood does have bubbles, the nurse should promptly return the blood to the blood bank. The only substance compatible with blood is normal saline; no additives should be mixed with the infusing blood.
