Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
While the nurse's action may have a laudable rationale, using a bib and feeding clients who may not require either action is incongruent with promoting function and preventing helplessness. Discussing current events and facilitating new skills and relationships promote well-being.

Answer to Question 2

D
Chilling may be controlled by keeping the room temperature at 85 F (24.4 C).
