Answer to Question 1

1,2,3,4
Rationale: Bathing is a facet of personal hygiene.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: The use of hypertonic solutions in the hypotensive client works by pulling fluid out of the intracellular space and expanding the circulating blood volume, thereby causing a rise in blood pressure. The use of hypertonic solutions would be contraindicated in clients with diabetic ketoacidosis, chronic renal failure, and congestive heart failure because these clients would not be able to tolerate the increased fluid volume that would result in the intravascular space.
