Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The nurse should use a one-way valve mask or other protective face shield if available. These devices theoretically reduce the potential for acquiring infectious diseases. They do not maintain positive lung pressure or redirect the flow of air. A valve mask may facilitate a higher quality seal around the client's mouth, but their primary purpose is for protection against infection.

Answer to Question 2

B
By applying a warm washcloth over the face prior to shaving, it helps soften the skin and beard. Warmth can also be relaxing for the client.
