Answer to Question 1

B
Always perform hygiene measures moving from cleanest to less clean or dirty areas. This often requires you to change gloves and perform hand hygiene during care activities.

Answer to Question 2

A
You will need to assist patients with acute visual impairments with walking. Stand on the pa-tient's dominant, stronger, or uninjured side. The patient grasps your elbow or upper arm. You then walk one half step ahead and slightly to the patient's side. The patient's shoulder is directly behind your shoulder. Relax and walk at a comfortable pace.
