Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The nurse should start washing the patient's eye area, with the washcloth without soap, followed by the patient's face, hands, and arms.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The patient need to work towards achieving as much independence in self-care as possible; starting with 50 in a post-stroke patient on day one is more achievable than 100. Ambulating and eating meals are not goals for a self-care deficit.
