Question 1 of 5
The nurse provides discharge instructions to a client following patch testing. Which instruction would the nurse provide to the client?

Rationale: Patch test sites must remain dry to ensure accurate allergen response readings, typically at 48 hours and later. Reapplying patches or waiting 2 weeks is incorrect.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is preparing a plan of care for a client with a diagnosis of acute cellulitis of the lower leg. The nurse anticipates which measure will be prescribed to treat this condition?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Warm moist compresses promote vasodilation and antibiotic delivery to the cellulitis site, aiding resolution. Cold compresses or heat lamps are less effective.
