Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: The priority nursing intervention for this client is to assist with bathing and toileting. A client who is incapable of performing activities of daily living requires assistance in these areas to ensure health and safety.

Answer to Question 2

C
Approximately 12 of Americans (or 33 million people) live below poverty level. Living in poverty often precipitates mental disorders, or mental disorders may occur while an individual is living in poverty.
