Answer to Question 1

C
The nurse should allow the skin to air dry for 30 seconds. Drying the skin with a towel removes the emollient that is left behind after the water/cleanser solution evaporates. It is permissible to lightly cover the patient with a bath blanket or towel to prevent chilling. The cleansing pack contains eight to ten pre-moistened towels for cleansing. Use a single towel for each general body part cleansed.

Answer to Question 2

B
A clinical guideline or protocol is a document that assists the clinician in making decisions and choosing interventions for specific health care problems or conditions. The protocol does not replace the nursing care plan. Evidence-based guidelines from protocols can be incorporated into an individualized plan of care. A clinical guideline is not the same as a hospital policy. Standing orders contain orders for the care of a specific group of patients. A protocol is not a prescriptive order form like a standing order.
