Answer to Question 1

A, C, E, F
Sterile objects held below the waist are considered contaminated. Gloving the dominant hand helps to improve dexterity. Slipping the fingers underneath the second glove cuff helps to protect the gloved fingers. Sterile touching sterile prevents glove contamination. Interlocking fingers ensures a smooth fit over the fingers. Sterile supplies are opened by carefully separating and peeling apart the sides of the package; this presents the sterile contents from accidentally opening and touching contaminated objects. Touching the outside of the glove surface will contaminate the sterile item; touch only the inside of the glovethe piece that will be against the skin.

Answer to Question 2

B
Disruption of tissue integrity is a possible cause or etiology of pain. A complaint of pain, headache, and discomfort are examples of things a patient might say (subjective data or defining characteristics) that lead a nurse to select Acute pain as a nursing diagnosis.
