Answer to Question 1

D
Restorative care is focused on supporting the resident's ability to perform self-care. Responses A, B, and C are accurate descriptions of nursing care, but they do not address the focus of rehabilitation.

Answer to Question 2

D
Pets, tooth care, and food preparation and storage areas all are potential breeding grounds for infections and should be evaluated. The yard is not typically a site of harmful bacteria for an older adult.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
