Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
A head-to-toe format provides a systematic approach.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
For observant Jews, a woman is considered to be in a ritual state of impurity whenever blood is coming from her uterus, such as during menstrual periods and after the birth of a child. During this time, her husband will not have physical contact with her. When this time is completed, she will bathe herself in a pool called a mikvah. Nurses need to be aware of this practice and be sensitive to the husband and wife because the husband will not touch his wife.
