Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Optional/elective surgery is for a condition that is not life threatening, such as a tubal ligation for sterilization. Required/nonelective surgery is necessary at some time. Urgent/nonelective surgery must be performed within a short time, to prevent further damage to the client. Emergency surgery must be performed immediately to save the client's life.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
