Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
The principles of a safe environment for older adults follow the same general guidelines as those for all ages: comfortable temperature range; adequate clothing; bath water of the right temperature (the setting on the hot water heater may need to be reduced); adequate ventilation; and lighting that allows for safe navigation throughout the house at all times of day. Clients with neuropathy will definitely need the hot water heater temperature reduced.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
The buddy system, a prearranged agreement between two or more people to provide mutual companionship and to monitor each other's whereabouts and well-being during certain high-risk activities, is an important outdoor and water safety strategy.
