Answer to Question 1

C

Feedback
A Incorrect. This is part of the Short Portable Mental Status Questionnaire (SPMSQ), which assesses mental status for intellectual impairment.
B Incorrect. This is part of the Family APGAR, which assesses a family's capabil-ity for adaptation, partnership, growth, affection, and resolution.
C Correct. A yes answer to this question, which is part of the Geriatric Depres-sion Scale (GDS), contributes to an assessment of depression.
D Incorrect. This is part of the Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE).

Answer to Question 2

D
Light mineral oil to moisten skin after bathing helps replace the sebum layer and retain the moisture in the skin. Cornstarch is a substance that promotes fungal growth. Betadine, hydrogen peroxide, alcohol, and some soaps are damaging to newly formed skin. Corn preparations dis-solve healthy tissue along with the corn.
