Answer to Question 1

C
Apply body lotion to the skin as needed and topical moisturizing agents to dry, flaky, reddened, or scaling areas. Decreased bath water temperature causes chilling. Do not massage any reddened area on the patient's skin. Reddened areas, especially over bony prominences, indicate localized injury to the skin and/or underlying tissue and cannot be ignored.

Answer to Question 2

B
B. The RNFA is a nurse with advanced education (including a clinical practicum or internship) who assists the surgeon with the surgical procedure, performing a combination of nursing and medical functions and/or skills.
A. The scrub nurse provides the surgeon with instruments and supplies, disposes of soiled sponges, and accounts for sponges, needles, and instruments on the surgical field. The scrub nurse keeps the sterile field orderly and monitors progress of the procedure and any breaks in aseptic technique.
C. The scrub nurse gowns and gloves surgeons and assistants as they enter the OR.
D. The scrub nurse in conjunction with the circulating nurse performs sponge, sharp, and instrument counts before incision is made, at the beginning of wound closure, and at the end of the surgical procedure.
