Answer to Question 1

B
1 pound of weight gain is equivalent to 1,000 mL of fluid retention.

Answer to Question 2

C
Because the skin of clients who are elderly is often dry, it may be advisable to bathe only two to three times a week and take sponge baths on other days. The nurse should recommend using a gentle soap sparingly and applying a moisturizing lotion.
