Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
When providing oral care and denture care, the nurse would be exposed to body fluids. The nurse should always don gloves if exposure to body fluids will occur.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Little intervention is needed for routine hygiene of the ear. Using bobby pins, hairpins, paper clips, or fingernails to remove wax from the ear is extremely dangerous because these may injure or puncture the eardrum.
