Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Touch is a primal need, as necessary as food, growth, or shelter. This answer provides the most appropriate manner in which a nurse can provide touch from among the options.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
Touch is a primal need, as necessary as food, growth, or shelter. Think of touch as a nutrient transmitted through the skin and skin hunger as a form of malnutrition that has reached epi-demic proportions in the United States, especially among older adults. While the remaining op-tions are not incorrect, they do not express the most appropriate appreciation for the need of hu-man touch.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
