Answer to Question 1

2,3,4
Rationale: The homeless client is unlikely to have access to shower facilities very often.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: A living will indicates which treatments the client desires and which ones should not be initiated if the client is unable to make decisions for himself. A medical power of attorney gives the responsibility for who is to make medical decisions for the client to the person holding this title. A living will does not address property or belongings or financial responsibility.
