Answer to Question 1

A
A patient's perception of readiness for discharge is related to postdischarge coping and improved outcomes. High-quality discharge teaching improves the patient's readiness for discharge. A positive perception of readiness helps the patient to successfully manage care and continue recovery at home without placing a burden on the family. A patient's perception of lack of readiness for discharge places an increased burden on the family, rather than the medical system, for support.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D, E
Factors that contribute to pressure ulcer formation are both extrinsic (e.g., moisture, friction, shear) and intrinsic (e.g., malnutrition, loss of sensation, impaired mobility, aging skin, impaired mental status, infection, incontinence, low arteriolar pressure).
