Answer to Question 1

C
All clinical inferences should be well supported by data. The more reliable the data are that you gather, the more certain you can be that your inference is accurate. Because inferences are nursing diagnoses, it would be inappropriate to have a physician evaluate them. Although another experienced nurse could evaluate the inference, it still needs to be supported by sound and sufficient data. Even clients can validate clinical inferences in some situations; however, adequate supporting data are still needed. Keep in mind that the client's data might or might not be sufficient to prove the inference.

Answer to Question 2

D
Immediately after the injury, the vascular response occurs. Blood vessels at the site constrict to control bleeding. After the injured cells release histamine, the vessels dilate, causing increased blood flow to the area. During the next phase, known as the cellular response phase, white blood cells migrate to the site of injury. In the exudate formation phase, the fluid and white blood cells move from circulation to the site of injury, forming an exudate. Tissue regeneration occurs in the healing phase.
