Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

Proper fitting of the mask to the face, including wearing the right size mask and keeping the straps tight, is important. Relaxation exercises can reduce the claustrophobic feelings caused by wearing the mask. Using a humidifier can minimize dry mouth and nose.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

Sun exposure occurs as we carry out our daily activities. Riding in the car, going in and out of buildings, and so on permit sun exposure. The client is asking for information; the other options do not provide adequate or correct information.
