Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2

Answer to Question 2

3. Wash hands

Rationale:
Washing hands is always the first and best way to stop the spread of microorganisms, which cause infections. Assessing vital signs is important but should be done more frequently than once daily. Wearing a mask for all clients is not practical and is unnecessary unless a microorganism is airborne and the client is in isolation. Raising the temperature in a client's room would contribute to the growth of microorganisms.
