Answer to Question 1

A
Professional responsibility and accountability are two primary reasons why practitioners document. Other reasons to document include communication, education, research, meeting legal and practice standards, and reimbursement.

Answer to Question 2

3. Depleted moisture in epidermal cells

Rationale:
The epidermal cells of the older person contain less moisture. This contributes to a dry, rough skin appearance. Reduced fluid intake and poor nutrition could add to dry skin; however, the primary reason is the decline in moisture due to advanced age. Reduction in elastin leads to wrinkling and sagging of the skin.
