Answer to Question 1

C

Feedback
A Incorrect. This question sounds like a challenge to the client's personal qualities. In addition, the nurse is leading the client to the answer. The client is likely to respond simply, Oh, yes.
B Incorrect. Although this question is meant to elicit the reason for nonadherence, it has an accusatory tone that is likely to make the client defensive.
C Correct. This question is worded to put the client at ease and elicit information in a matter-of-fact way.
D Incorrect. This question can be interpreted as judgmental.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D
Skin must be strong enough to withstand forces that can impair its integrity. If skin is not supple, then it is unable to withstand directional forces and will tear. Skin must be sturdy enough to act as an effective protective mechanism. All skin must be able to absorb, cushion, and withstand forces. Skin in a moist environment is subject to bacterial and fungal overgrowth. Skin pigmen-tation is unrelated to its ability to cushion, absorb, and withstand potentially harmful substances and forces.
