Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Touch is a primal need, as necessary as food, growth, or shelter. Touch is like a nutrient transmitted through the skin, and skin hunger is like a form of malnutrition that has reached epidemic proportions in the United States, especially among older adults. While infants, children, and middle age may be affected, it is the older adult who is most affected.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The nurse manager needs to intervene if the nurse uses active progressive relaxation. Active progressive relaxation is not appropriate for patients with advanced disease or decreased energy reserves. Passive relaxation or guided imagery or meditation is more appropriate for these individuals.
