Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Antifungal foot powders may be used when indicated, and it is appropriate to use soap and/or cleansers when providing foot care. Corns and calluses should not be removed, and the nurse should avoid soaking the client's feet.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Electric shavers are recommended when a client is receiving anticoagulant therapy. In addition, the nurse should not provide a firm-bristled toothbrush because the client is more prone to bleeding, and the firm bristles may lead to bleeding. The client should be allowed to shower, unless there are other contraindications. A back massage will provide an ideal time to perform a skin assessment for bruising or breakdown.
