Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, D
The Braden scale ranks the patient on the risk categories of sensory perception, moisture, activity, mobility, nutrition, and friction and shear. The scale does not include cognition.

ANS: A, B, C, E
A focused wound assessment includes an evaluation of the wound's location, size, and color; presence of drainage; condition of the wound edges; characteristics of the wound bed; and patient's response to the wound or wound treatment. The patient's pain level would be documented with his/her pain assessment.

It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
