Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

Important Points:
 You may elect to assist patients if you need to assess abilities, such as undoing clothing fasteners or sitting and rising from the toilet seat.
 If you are trying to evaluate the outcomes of incontinence training or the patient's level of independence you may also elect to accompany the patient.
 If the UAP is busy and the patient will have to wait an unreasonable amount of time, you should help.
 If you are standing right in front of the patient and the patient asks for help, consider how it looks from the patient's point of view if you walk off to find someone else to assist.
