Answer to Question 1

D
Critical thinkers use language precisely and clearly. When language is unclear and inaccurate, it reflects sloppy thinking. It is important to communicate clearly with patients, their families, and health care professionals. When you use incorrect terminology, jargon or terminology with which a patient is unfamiliar, or vague descriptions, communication is ineffective.

Answer to Question 2

C
The body's normal defense against skin infections is shedding of outer layer of skin cells, which removes organisms that adhere to the skin's outer layers. Failure to bathe regularly can alter the body's normal defense against skin infections.
