Answer to Question 1

D
The nurse caring for an older adult in acute care instructs him to wear sun-protective garments at all times to help prevent additional skin cancers, as well as apply an effective sunscreen to protect his skin against ultraviolet light. Placing posters and promoting sunscreen at a health fair are interventions for a community nurse. Scheduling activities after a specific time can be impractical or impossible.

Answer to Question 2

B

Feedback
A Incorrect. Providing safety and security from the storm is Maslow's second most basic need.
B Correct. The nurse prepares for short-term care by prioritizing the needs of the older adults, and this intervention helps to maintain the therapeutic plan, thereby addressing the need for physiological integrity. Furthermore, the nurse maintains continuity of care by preparing a medication schedule to prevent missed doses of medication.
C Incorrect. In emergency conditions, the nurse provides basic care relating to safety, security, and physical well-being. Maintaining a sense of belonging is important but not in emergency conditions.
D Incorrect. A state of emergency is not the time to develop self-esteem because meeting safety, security, and physical needs are more important.
