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.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
