Answer to Question 1

C
Scientific knowledge and experience to choose strategies you use in the care of patient is expla-nation; it supports your findings and conclusions. Analysis is being open-minded as you look at information about a patient. Do not make careless assumptions in analysis. Evaluation is looking at all situations objectively and systematically and using criteria to determine results of nursing actions. Self-regulation is reflecting on your experiences and identifying ways you can improve your own performance.

Answer to Question 2

D
To prevent slipping, crutches have rubber tips, which must be kept dry. The tip should also be inspected regularly and replaced if worn or loose.
