Answer to Question 1

B

Feedback
A Incorrect. Oil added to the bathtub increases the risk of slipping and falling, which can result in a catastrophic injury. Oils should be applied directly to moist skin after bathing.
B Correct. Tepid bath water minimizes moisture loss from skin.
C Incorrect. Humidity should be maintained at about 60. The person may not be able to move.
D Incorrect. Vigorous, rough towel drying increases skin irritation.

Answer to Question 2

A
Difficult access to facilities within the time available is a factor in bowel incontinence and blad-der incontinence. The intake of 1 L of fluid is less than the recommended amount to protect against dehydration and constipation. Realistic expectations and goals should be discussed with the patient. Toileting should occur 20 to 40 minutes after regularly scheduled meals when the gastrocolic reflex is active.
