Answer to Question 1

A
Some cultures require silence at the time of death; others express grief with loud wailing, falling out, or hysteria. Do not rush any grieving process. Give family members and friends a private place to gather. Allow them time to ask questions. This creates a safe environment for the grieving family. Questions provide information about how they are coping with loss and their needs. Ask family members if they have requests for preparation or viewing of the body (such as position of the body, special clothing, or shaving). Determine whether they wish to be present or assist with care of the body. This may provide closure for those who wish to assist with body preparation.

Answer to Question 2

C
C. A bath math prevents slipping, falling, and transmission of microorganisms.
A. Bath oil can make the tub slippery and unsafe.
B. Draining the tub before the client gets out of the tub prevents accidental falls.
D. The water temperature must be adjusted before the client enters the water to prevent accidental burns.
