Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, D
Jewelry harbors and protects microorganisms from removal. Allergic skin reactions may occur as a result of scrub agent or glove powder accumulating under jewelry. Long nails and chipped or old polish harbor great numbers of bacteria. Long fingernails can puncture gloves, causing contamination. Artificial nails harbor gram-negative microorganisms and fungus. Cuts, abrasions, exudative lesions, and hangnails tend to ooze serum, which may contain pathogens. Broken skin permits microorganisms to enter various layers of the skin, providing deeper microbial breeding.

Answer to Question 2

A
Focus on the patient's abilities rather than disabilities; this retains the patient's autonomy and sense of self-worth.
