Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
This is an invasive procedure requiring informed consent. The nurse should ensure that consent is on the chart. The other actions are also appropriate but not the priority.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Even though clients may be tired, they still need to participate in hygiene to help prevent infection. The other options are all appropriate.
