Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Toenails should be cut straight across, and nurses do not cut diabetic clients' toenails. Only a podiatrist should handle this task.
Rationale 2: Toes should be dried thoroughly after being washed to impede fungal growth and prevent maceration.
Rationale 3: The water to wash the feet should be 100F to 110F.
Rationale 4: Feet should be inspected each day, not once a week, for early detection of any problems.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: Hygienic care does not include care of the client's clothes.
