Answer to Question 1

D
The Association of Perioperative Registered Nurses (2009) suggests that nurses report to em-ployee health services to seek medical treatment immediately if a reaction or dermatitis occurs. They are also advised to wear powder-free gloves whenever possible (they are lower in protein allergens), wear gloves only when indicated, wash with a pH-balanced soap immediately after removing gloves, and apply only nonoil-based hand care products (oil-based products break down latex allergens).

Answer to Question 2

B
The nurse used critical thinking. Critical thinking involves recognizing that an issue (e.g., patient problem) exists, analyzing information related to the issue (e.g., clinical data about a patient), evaluating information (including assumptions and evidence), and drawing conclusions. Intuition is an inner sensing or gut feeling that something is so. Reflection is a part of critical thinking that involves the process of purposefully thinking back or recalling a situation to discover its purpose or meaning. Perseverance means to also keep looking for additional resources until you find a successful approach.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
