Answer to Question 1

B, C, D
Stopping smoking, keeping blood pressure under control, and incorporating physical activities are all modifiable risk factors. Increasing the intake of green leafy vegetables does not, in itself, decrease the risk of stroke; however, they are part of a healthy diet if the patient is not taking an anticoagulant medication.

Answer to Question 2

D

Feedback
A Incorrect. From the point of view of the well-being of the patient, bathing is rarely such an emergency that it must be performed at a time when the patient is not receptive.
B Incorrect. Stimulation should be kept simple and focused, and avoid alarming the patient.
C Incorrect. The most sensitive and intimate areas should be washed last, after trust has been established between the patient and the nurse (which may have to be done anew at every encounter). From an infection-control standpoint, wash-ing occurs from clean to dirty areas.
D Correct. Undressing for bathing can be interpreted as assault by a person with dementia. It should be performed in a way that minimizes the intrusive and ex-posing aspects and maintains trust between the person and the caregiver.
