Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

This client is self-sufficient, and only needs some assistance reaching areas such as the back and the feet. A complete bath is when the nurse bathes all areas of the body, which would not be necessary with a healthy young adult. A bag bath is a bath using no-rinse solution, which would not be necessary for this client because there is available water and bathing products. A partial bath would be incomplete for this client, who is bedridden for several weeks and will require a full bath.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4

The package arrives with 10-12 presoaked disposable washcloths that the nurse must warm in the microwave. Once the washcloths are safely warmed, the nurse uses one washcloth on each area of the body (one for each arm, one for each leg). Drying is not necessary because the solution on the washcloths is no-rinse cleanser that will dry quickly.
