Answer to Question 1

C
Nonblanchable hyperemia is redness that persists after palpation and indicates tissue damage. When you press a finger against the red or purple area, it does not turn lighter in color. Deep tis-sue damage is present and is commonly the first stage of pressure ulcer development.

Answer to Question 2

B
Spirituality is defined as awareness to one's inner self and a sense of connectedness to a higher being or nature or purpose greater than self. Religion refers to the system of organized beliefs and worship that a person practices to outwardly express spirituality. Hope is a multidimensional concept that gives comfort while a person endures hardship and personal challenges.
