Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Explaining is helpful, but does not provide the clients with a sense of independence and control in the situation.
Rationale 2: Active participation enhances a client's sense of independence and control. In this situation, the baby and parents will do best with future bathing times if they are allowed to complete the bath themselves. Watching a video is helpful, but does not provide the clients with a sense of independence and control in the situation.

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Technical skills are hands-on skills such as manipulating equipment, giving injections, bandaging, moving, lifting, and repositioning clients. These skills can also be called tasks, procedures, or psychomotor skills.
