Answer to Question 1

D
Meals on Wheels provides a large, nutritious meal to home-bound people. A community food bank, the Salvation Army, and food stamps would not adequately assist a home-bound individu-al.

Answer to Question 2

A
Artificial nails harbor microorganisms regardless of good hand hygiene. Washing hands prior to eating is good practice, as well as using friction and washing for 15 to 30 seconds with soap and water. Hand gels are effective in most circumstances except for certain infections such as C. dif-ficile and C. albicans.
