Answer to Question 1

A
The normal hematocrit range for a female is 38 to 47, for a male is 40 to 54.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The nurse should explain to the elderly client that a daily bath reduces the possibility of infection. Although restoring cleanliness is the primary objective, bathing has several other benefits such as stimulating circulation, providing a refreshed and relaxed feeling, and improving self-image. Bathing does not necessarily prevent skin from peeling or maintain core body temperature.

Did you know?

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
