Answer to Question 1

1,2,3,5
Rationale: The skin is the largest organ of the body, and helps to maintain health

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale 1: The Hoyer lift and other similar devices are used for clients who cannot help with transfer. At least two people are needed to use this equipment. In the case of a client who weighs 300 pounds, attempting the transfer alone or with one other staff member without equipment is not safe. Hygiene needs cannot be ignored because of the client's size, so declining to shower the client is not an option.
