Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
Any condition that interferes with movement of the hand (e.g., superficial or deep pain or joint inflammation) impairs a client's self-help abilities. While the other options represent clients who may experience difficulty, the client in Option 1 will most likely not be self-sufficient with hy-giene.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
Bathing removes excess body secretions, although if excessive, it causes dry skin. The use of heavily scented soaps is often discouraged. The remaining options do not require follow-up.
