Answer to Question 1

2,3,4,5
Rationale: Keeping financial assets in a secure place is an element of financial safety for older adults

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: The client should be turned toward nurse B with the back turned toward nurse A, who is preparing to make that side of the bed. Turning toward or away from the side rail is ambiguous because there are side rails on both sides of the bed. When the client is turned toward nurse B, the side rail on nurse B's side of the bed should be elevated, while the side rail on nurse A's side of the bed should be lowered.
