Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Failing to pull the foreskin back into place may cause tissue damage to the penis.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, D, E
The nurse caring for the client with peripheral vascular disease should use an emery board to file nail edges. These clients may have thick distorted nails that may be difficult to cut, but can be safely filed. The nurse should avoid cutting the nails too short or cutting into calluses to prevent trauma. The nurse should cut the nails straight across if possible, and cut in a few small pieces rather than one piece to prevent injury or skin breakdown.
