Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Care to the perineal area for an incontinent client includes the use of moisture barriers, skin cleansers, and moisturizers and the avoidance of soap or friction. Measures should be followed to reduce overhydration because this will increase the risk for perineal damage and skin breakdown.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Morning care is categorized as self-care, partial care, or complete care. Clients identified as partial care most often receive morning care at the bedside, or seated near the sink in the bathroom. They usually require assistance with body areas that are difficult to reach. Clients identified as self-care are capable of managing their personal hygiene independently once oriented to the bathroom. Clients identified as complete care require nursing assistance with all aspects of personal hygiene. In additional to scheduled care, the nurse will offer care as needed.
