Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
The dark, warm, moist perineal and vaginal areas favor bacterial growth. Variables known to create a need for special care include an indwelling Foley catheter. The client who cannot clean the perineal area needs the nurse's assistance for personal hygiene.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Personal hygiene practices vary widely among individuals and are affected by culture, socioeconomic status, spiritual practices, developmental level, health state, and personal preferences.
