Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Medicare-certified health care agencies must ask patients about advance directives and provide patients with the advance directive form if the patient is interested in completing the document.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D, E, F
Faith community nurses should avoid giving sermons or preaching religion to clients. Listening without any intervention is not possible, because listening in and of itself can be therapeutic. Clients retain their autonomy so nurses can give information but cannot suggest to clients what their decision should be. Appropriate emotional interventions include working with feelings, showing love, and using appropriate touch and empathy. Calling a patient by name is part of showing caring during the interaction. Intuition includes allowing time for prayer and sacrament and supports and encourages religious activities.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
