Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Extra batteries are needed to keep on hand because a battery only lasts 1 1/2 to 2 weeks.
Rationale 2: Marking the aid is necessary for a client living in a long-term facility because of the potentially high number of hearing aids.
Rationale 3: Hair spray can clog a hearing aid, and clients are encouraged not to use it when the aid is in use.
Rationale 4: A hair dryer should not be used around the aid as heat can damage the aid.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Allowing for a toe pleat provides for client comfort.
Rationale 2: Placing the bath blanket over the client prevents unnecessary exposure.
Rationale 3: Sliding the mattress to the head of the bed makes it easier to tuck in the linens.
Rationale 4: Raising the side rail maintains client safety.
