Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
A paronychia is inflammation at the base of the nail so the nurse assesses the patient's nails and the surrounding skin. The other assessments are not related to this diagnosis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The lithotomy position is used to examine female genitalia. It is an uncomfortable and embarrassing position, so the nurse ensures time spent in that position is limited. The nurse gets the provider, then assists the patient into the position. The Sims position is used to examine the rectal and perineal areas.
