Answer to Question 1

B
Preventative care includes services such as immunizations, screenings, poison control information, mental health counseling and crisis prevention, and community legislation.

Answer to Question 2

D
Objective data such as an elevated temperature, open draining wound, inflammation of a wound site, and laboratory values revealing an increased white blood cell count indicate an actual infection. Subjective findings include the patient's complaint of chills, malaise, or tenderness at the wound site. When assessing laboratory data, consider the age of the patient. For example, in an older adult, bacterial growth in urine without clinical symptoms does not always indicate the presence of a urinary tract infection.
