Answer to Question 1

C
Patients with peripheral vascular disease or diabetes mellitus often require nail care from a specialist to reduce the risk of infection. Some agencies allow cutting of nails with a provider's order; however, most do not. Patients with diabetes do not soak hands and feet. Soaking increases the risk of infection because of maceration of the skin. When assessing the patient's feet, the nurse palpates the dorsalis pedis of the foot, not the brachial artery.

Answer to Question 2

D
Human growth and development is a complex pattern of movement that involves changes in biological, cognitive, and socioemotional processes. Cognitive processes comprise changes in intelligence, use of language, and development of thinking. Socioemotional processes consist of variations in personality, emotions, and relationships with others. Height and weight, development of gross and fine motor skills, and sexual maturation resulting from hormonal changes during puberty are examples of changes resulting from biological processes.
