Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Special orders are required before cutting the nails of clients with diabetes or hemophilia, not peripheral vascular disease, or those with very thickened nails to avoid accidental injury to soft tissues.

Written discharge instructions are provided to the client. These include restrictions, special diet instructions, and signs of complications, as well as the date and time of follow-up appointments. Clients also sign a copy of his or her property sheet, verifying that all personal property brought to the facility is back in their possession.
