Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, C
Serum iron, iron-binding capacity, ferritin, and albumin indicate undernutrition. The other laboratory values do not.

Ans: A, B, C, D
Can the person enter and exit the tub safely? Does the color of the toilet seat contrast with surrounding colors? Does the tub have skid-proof strips or a rubber mat in the bottom? and Is the height of the toilet seat appropriate? are all appropriate questions to ask when assessing the safety; the door lock is not helpful.
