Answer to Question 1

B
1 pound of weight gain is equivalent to 1,000 mL of fluid retention.

Because the skin of clients who are elderly is often dry, it may be advisable to bathe only two to three times a week and take sponge baths on other days. The nurse should recommend using a gentle soap sparingly and applying a moisturizing lotion.
