Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Seeking forgiveness can be a powerful tool in attaining spiritual health. Urging comparison to others is inappropriate and attempting to change the patient's focus to more positive subjects is not an appropriate intervention.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
As a person ages, the skin loses macrophages, which are part of the body's ability to manage bacteria on the skin. When this loss is combined with the reduction in thickness and circulation to the skin, the local defenses against infection are weakened.
