Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Cognitive impairment limits the client's ability to understand and comprehend; therefore naming the staff is not within the client's realm of understanding.
Rationale 2: Cognitive impairment limits the client's ability to understand and comprehend; therefore eliminating safety hazards is not within the client's realm of understanding.
Rationale 3: A client with cognitive impairment would be able to brush her teeth but only with supervision. The client would not voluntarily brush their teeth without prompting from the staff.
Rationale 4: Cognitive impairment limits the client's ability to understand and comprehend; therefore stressing adequate fluid intake is not within the client's realm of understanding.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: The hair should not be dry or thin. This could be a sign of alopecia. Darkness would depend on hair color through the gene pool.
Rationale 2: Skin is assessed as being smooth, taut, or shiny, not hair.
Rationale 3: The hair should be smooth in texture and neither oily nor dry.
Rationale 4: A tender, warm scalp could indicate a problem, so this would not be normal.
