Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Doing for is providing for the client as she would do for herself if it were possible. Subdimensions of this process include preserving dignity.
Rationale 2: Drying the client completely, if she is able to do some herself, would not be part of doing for.
Rationale 3: Sensing that the client is uncomfortable fits in the subdimension of knowing (sensing cues).
Rationale 4: Touching the client's shoulder is comforting, a subdimension of being with.

It is believed that the Incas used anesthesia.

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.
