Answer to Question 1

B
Skilled care should be identified for each patient visit.

Answer to Question 2

C
The home safety risk appraisal for an adult would include firearms with safety latches, smoke detectors and fire extinguishers installed in the home, a nondrinking designated driver is chosen, emergency phone numbers are available, and caregivers know adult CPR and the Heimlich maneuver. Keeping the environment warm and free of drafts would be appropriate for an infant appraisal. Locking poisons in a cabinet would be appropriate for a toddler/preschooler appraisal. A shower stall seat would be appropriate for an older adult appraisal.
