Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
A partial bath consists of washing body parts that the patient cannot reach, including the back, and providing a backrub. Dependent patients in need of partial hygiene or self-sufficient bedridden patients who are unable to reach all body parts receive a partial bed bath. Complete bed baths are administered to totally dependent patients in bed. The bag bath contains several soft, nonwoven cotton cloths that are premoistened in a solution of no-rinse surfactant cleanser and emollient. The sponge bath involves bathing from a bath basin or a sink with the patient sitting in a chair.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Edentulous means without teeth; therefore, the nurse needs to assess the oral cavity. While older adults may want the room warmer and drafts should be avoided, this does not help with being edentulous. Edentulous does not mean the patient has edema. While older-adult patients can have reduced sensations, this is not the meaning of edentulous.
