Answer to Question 1

C
A towel bath is a modification of the bed bath, in which a large towel and a bath blanket are placed in a plastic bag and saturated with a commercially prepared mixture of moisturizer, nonrinse cleaning agent, and water. The bag and its contents are then placed in the microwave, and they are used to bathe the patient. This bathing method is preferred for patients who have Activity Intolerance. A tub bath, complete bed bath, and conventional bed bath may deplete this patient's energy.

Answer to Question 2

A, D, E
The Glasgow Coma Scale assesses level of consciousness by testing and scoring three observations: eye opening, motor response, and verbal stimuli response. Clients are scored on their best responses and these scores are totaled. The highest score is 15 . The highest responses in these three categories are spontaneous eye opening, obeying motor commands, and orientation to time, place, and person.
