Answer to Question 1

D
Bath water temperature should be 105F (40.6C) to prevent chilling, burning, and excess drying of the skin.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C
The general survey is the nurse's overall impression of the patient. It begins at first contact and continues throughout the examination. If a deviation from normal is discovered during the general survey, the nurse can then explore the finding further along during a focused assessment of that body system. The general survey includes obtaining a full set of vital signs. The general survey does not include a comprehensive physical assessment (CPA), as the CPA includes the health history interview and a complete head-to-toe examination of every body system.
