Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Heat application is contraindicated in persons with peripheral vascular disease. The other cited health problems do not preclude heat treatment.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The prerequisites for self-care are skill, desire, and ability. Although connection is an element of the holistic model, it is not one of the three fundamental prerequisites for self-care, nor is instruction or evaluation.
