A nurse is delegating some aspects of client hygiene to an unlicensed care provider and is ensuring the care provider has adequate knowledge to safely perform shaving. With which of the following clients would the use of a razor be contraindicated?

A) A man who had an unkempt beard and mustache upon admission
B) A man who has a history of type 1 diabetes and who takes insulin daily
C) A man who has a history of stroke and who takes oral anticoagulants
D) A man who is the early stages of Alzheimer disease

Question 2

How do the mucus of the goblet cells and the cilia of the conducting airways protect the respiratory system from invasion from foreign particles?

a. The cilia move large particles up and out, while the goblet cells neutralize the smaller particles and carry them out of the body.
b. The constant upward motion of the cilia propels the mucociliary blanket toward the pharynx where foreign matter may be expectorated.
c. The mucociliary blanket coats foreign bodies, which are then attacked by the immune system.
d. The mucociliary blanket traps foreign matter, which is moved toward the gastrointestinal tract by the cilia and expelled.

Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Use of anticoagulants contraindicates shaving with a safety razor due to the consequent risk of bleeding. Unkempt beards, diabetes, and cognitive deficits do not necessarily contraindicate this practice.

Answer to Question 2

B
The goblet cells and the cilia of the conducting airways protect the respiratory system from invasion from foreign particles. The constant upward motion of the cilia propels the mucociliary blanket toward the pharynx where foreign matter may be expectorated.
