Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Some of the factors that influence one's personal hygiene are social practices, body image, knowledge of physical condition, and cultural variables. A client who has had an ileostomy has had a body image change which can greatly influence whether he will care for it or rely on others. This can pose a threat if the client chooses not to care for it.
Rationale 2: Performing meticulous foot care does not pose a threat to one's hygiene.
Rationale 3: Bathing every other day does not pose a threat to one's hygiene.
Rationale 4: Room temperature of 72F does not pose a threat to one's hygiene.
