Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Resistance to injury of the skin and mucous membranes varies among people. Factors influencing resistance include the person's age, the amount of underlying tissue, and illness conditions. In this question, the older man with diabetes would be most at risk.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
A person's socioeconomic class and financial resources often define the hygiene options available to him or her. Access to assistive services, such as shelters, may be limited for some clients. For example, homeless people, who often carry all their belongings in a car or shopping cart, may welcome the warm running water and soap available in roadside or public restrooms.
