Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) affects:

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: SLE is an autoimmune disease with widespread effects. It primarily targets connective tissue (choice A), including joints, skin, and vessel linings, causing inflammation (e.g., arthritis, rashes). The liver (choice B) isn't a primary target, though drugs may affect it. The kidney (choice C) is often involved (lupus nephritis), but this stems from connective tissue damage in glomeruli. The retina (choice D) can be affected but isn't the hallmark. A is correct, as connective tissue is SLE's core target. Nurses monitor for multisystem symptoms, administer immunosuppressants, and educate on flare management.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Third intention healing (C) occurs with delayed surgical closure of an infected wound, allowing time for infection control before suturing. First intention (A) involves primary closure of clean wounds with minimal scarring. Second intention (B) is healing by granulation in open wounds, without surgical closure. Fourth intention (D) isn't a recognized term in wound healing. In third intention, the wound is initially left open to drain and treat infection, then closed later, balancing infection management and tissue approximation. This matches the scenario of delayed closure, making C the correct answer based on wound healing classifications.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Detailed explanations (C) are inappropriate for anxious clients, as they overwhelm and increase distress, especially in moderate-to-severe states. Offering choices (A) empowers, a quiet environment (B) soothes, and reducing anxiety (D) is the goal all apt. Anxiety narrows focus, per Peplau; excess information hinders coping. Simple, clear communication suits better, making C the incorrect intervention.
