Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
There is no evidence that therapeutic touch improves skin integrity. There is research to support the remaining options.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Common problems related to both the diagnosis and management of blood pressure disorders in the older adult includes postural or orthostatic hypotension. As a result, it may be necessary to include ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in the diagnostic evaluation. The other options are not reflective of appropriate techniques for this client's condition.
