Answer to Question 1

A
An infected wound already is warm, red, and inflamed. Open wounds and broken skin are sensi-tive to temperature variations. For a patient who has a muscle sprain, localized hemorrhage, or hematoma, an ice bag is ideal to prevent edema formation, control bleeding, and anesthetize the body part.

Answer to Question 2

C
Nurses should educate patients regarding measures that promote a sense of well-being by mini-mizing or avoiding discomfort. Both opioids and nonopioids have side effects. The patient should be educated in the use of nonpharmacological pain therapies.
