Answer to Question 1

A
Primary prevention refers to specific action taken to optimize the health of the older individual by helping him or her to become more resistant to disease or to ensure that the environment will be less harmful. Providing immunizations would be included in this level of prevention. Colo-rectal cancer screening is secondary prevention. Cooking for diabetic patients is tertiary preven-tion. Surveying patients does not fall into any level of prevention.

Answer to Question 2

B, C, D, E
Requirements for a nursing assistant's education includes training in infection control and inter-personal skills, instruction on resident rights and safety procedures, and 6 hours of education through in-services quarterly. Nursing assistants must have classroom training before working with residents, but the amount of time is not specified.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
