Question 1 of 5
An 82-year-old diabetic client is being treated in the hospital for a sacral pressure ulcer. What age-related change is most likely to affect the client's course of treatment?

Rationale: Aging delays wound healing due to reduced tissue regeneration, impacting pressure ulcer treatment.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following knee arthroplasty and has a new prescription for enoxaparin 1mg/kg subcutaneous. The client weighs 185 lb.
