Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Shaving with a razor causes microabrasions, which are tiny cuts that provide an entrance for microorganisms. For this reason, institutions are switching from razors to electric or battery-operated clippers for hair removal. Depilatory agents, chemicals that remove hair, are another alternative, but their use is associated with skin irritation and allergic reactions. Chlorhexidine is an antiseptic agent, not a hair removal product.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
In order to correctly perform leg exercises, the client should be taught to bend one knee and then raise and hold the leg above the mattress for a few seconds. Leg weights, leg rotation, and quadriceps setting are not components of postoperative leg exercises.
