Answer to Question 1

D
Older adults should avoid the excess use of soap, hot water, or brisk rubbing when bathing. The elderly should pat their skin dry instead of rubbing. Water temperature should be tepid. Use lotion for itchiness and dryness. Protect the skin from sun exposure.

Answer to Question 2

D
Denial is characterized as refusing to accept what has been explained. It is an immediate response to a loss. Bargaining is an attempt to postpone the inevitable. Depression is a realization that the loss can no longer be delayed. Acceptance is characterized by growing awareness of peace and contentment.
