Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: The nurse will need to assess the client's mental status to help accomplish this goal.
Rationale 2: Keeping the client dependent on the staff for care does not encourage independence.
Rationale 3: Making all choices for the client does not encourage independence.
Rationale 4: The major goal for a client who is at risk for injury is for the client to remain injury-free.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Deficient Knowledge deals with injury prevention. A client who is already prone to falls may not have the cognitive ability for a knowledge deficient.
Rationale 2: Risk for Injury is a state in which the individual is at risk as a result of environmental conditions such as a fall.
Rationale 3: Risk for Disuse Syndrome is a deterioration of body system as the result of prescribed or unavoidable musculoskeletal inactivity.
Rationale 4: Risk for Suffocation is inadequate air available for inhalation.

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.
