Answer to Question 1

The nurse should not wipe or blot, and should allow to dry completely before reapplying dressing.

Answer to Question 2

The nurse should note decreased skin turgor, decreased blood pressure, and low urine output in a client with dehydration. The client's pulse and respiratory rate would decrease, instead of increase, with dehydration.
