Answer to Question 1

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.

Answer to Question 2

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 her 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.

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.
