Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
The nurse should suggest to the client to wear loose protective clothing and to watch areas of skinfolds for breakdown. The nurse should not suggest that the client scrub and clean the skin often, ensure adequate sunlight, or have frequent baths as these measures may aggravate the condition and cause further impairment to the tissue. The client is advised to avoid sunlight.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
The client who is receiving an immunization would most likely experience pain at the injection site; therefore, Acute Pain would be most appropriate. If the drug was not given, then the client would be at risk for infection. Although fever may occur, Hyperthermia as a nursing diagnosis would be inappropriate. Ineffective Coping would not be associated with immunologic agents.
