Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Older adults are more susceptible to scald burns because of their diminished ability to feel dangerously hot water temperatures. Perfumed hand soap, dish washing liquid, and lotion are acceptable.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
About 50 healing at 16 days is acceptable. Full-thickness skin tears take an average of 21 days to healing in older adults. The treatment plan needs to be changed if there is redness (at 12 days), pain (at 19 days), or draining plasma (at 14 days).
