Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
A patient's condition is always changing, requiring ongoing critical thinking and changing of nursing diagnoses. Because hygienic care is so important for a patient to feel comfortable, refreshed, and renewed, the nurse should avoid making hygiene care a simple routine.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
No two individuals perform hygiene in the same manner; it is important to individualize the patient's care based on knowing about the patient's unique hygiene practices and preferences. Hygiene care is never routine; this care requires intimate contact with the patient and communication skills to promote the therapeutic relationship. In addition, during hygiene, the nurse should take time to learn about the patient's health promotion practices and needs, emotional needs, and health care education needs.
