Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
When changing the battery, turn off the aid first. It is helpful to have several new batteries available, a battery will last about 80 hours. When the aid is not in use, turn it off and remove the battery.

Answer to Question 2

B
Soothing baths with an antipruritic medication (as ordered) can be effective. Warmth and heat increase pruritus.
