Answer to Question 1

B
You will need a health care provider's order to shampoo the hair of patients with neck injuries.

Answer to Question 2

D
Sensory deprivation occurs when inadequate quality or quantity of stimuli impairs perception. These effects sometimes produce cognitive changes, such as the inability to solve problems, poor task performance, and disorientation. Affective changes, which include boredom, restlessness, increased anxiety, or emotional ability, can occur.
