Answer to Question 1

Primary
Primary healing takes place when tissue is cleanly cut and the margins are reapproximated.

Answer to Question 2

B
If a patient questions the medication a nurse prepares, it is important not to ignore these concerns. An alert patient will know whether a medication is different from those received before. Withhold the medication until you are able to recheck the preparation against the order. If a medication order seems incorrect or inappropriate, always consult the prescriber.
