Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 5,1,4,2,6,3

The first step is to perform hand hygiene and arrange the equipment on the over-bed table. Easy access to equipment prevents delays. Hand hygiene is done before every procedure. Maintaining client privacy is the second step as it reduces client anxiety. The third step is to assist the client into a sitting position. Sitting facilitates immersing feet in the basin. The bath mat protects feet from exposure to soil or debris. Filling the washbasin with warm water and testing the temperature is the fourth step. This prevents accidental burns to the client's skin. Diabetic clients have peripheral neuropathy with decreased sensation. Helping the client place feet in the basin and soaking them for 10 minutes is the fifth step. Clients with muscular weakness or tremors may have difficulty positioning feet. Warm water softens nails and thickened epidermal cells. The last step is filing and clipping the nails. Filing and cutting straight across avoids skin overgrowth at the nail edges, which leads to ingrown toenails or infection. If nails become thick, a professional should provide nail care.
