Answer to Question 1

C
You will care for patients who are faced with the need to adapt to an altered body image as a result of surgery or other physical change. Often a visit by someone who has experienced similar changes and adapted to them is helpful. Signs that a person is receptive to such a visit include the patient's asking questions related to how to manage a particular aspect of what has happened or looking at the changed area.

Answer to Question 2

D
Anxiety and stress prevent urination because tension makes it difficult to relax abdominal mus-cles.
