Answer to Question 1

D
Bacteria multiply by cell division; some forms of bacteria can produce spores (a resistant stage that withstands unfavorable environments). Bacteria is found in all environments, but most bacteria are not harmful and do not cause disease.

Answer to Question 2

B
Rehabilitation helps clients reach their optimal level of physical, mental, and psychosocial functioning. This goal is established by preventing complications, modifying the effects of the disability, and increasing the client's independence. A concern of rehabilitation is increasing the client's ability to perform the activities of daily living (ADLs). ADLs include grooming, hygiene, eating, dressing, toileting, transfers and mobility. The rehabilitation nurse must be able to assist the client to meet these goals.
