Answer to Question 1

D
Restorative care is focused on supporting the resident's ability to perform self-care. Responses A, B, and C are accurate descriptions of nursing care, but they do not address the focus of rehabilitation.

Answer to Question 2

D
Pets, tooth care, and food preparation and storage areas all are potential breeding grounds for infections and should be evaluated. The yard is not typically a site of harmful bacteria for an older adult.
