Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Stimulated by cold or fear, these involuntary muscles contract, making the hairs stand erect. This phenomenon gives the skin the appearance of goose flesh or goose bumps caused by the pilomotor reflex. These erect hairs provide an air cushion for the skin.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Evaluation is the measurement of the effectiveness of the nursing process. The nurse's role in each other step of the nursing process is as follows: nursing assessment: systematic and continuous collection of data. Planning is development of goals and possible activities to meet them. Implementation: giving of actual nursing care.
