1. To promote independence, which of these is the best intervention to implement?

• A. Perform the client’s activities of daily living for them.
• B. Speak directly in front of the client so they can read your lips well.
• C. Give the client their washcloth and toothbrush and leave the room.
• D. Allow the client to perform the activities of daily living they are able to do.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is to allow the client to perform the activities of daily living they are able to do. This intervention promotes independence by encouraging clients to maintain their functional abilities. Choice A is incorrect as performing the client's activities of daily living for them does not empower independence. Choice B is irrelevant to promoting independence. Choice C is not actively promoting independence as it involves leaving the client alone without any guidance or support.

• A. Using a splint
• B. Ultrasound therapy
• C. Endoscopic carpal tunnel release
• D. All of the above

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'All of the above.' Non-surgical treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome include using a splint, ultrasound therapy, corticosteroid injections, and NSAIDs. Choice A is correct as using a splint helps to keep the wrist in a neutral position, reducing pressure on the median nerve. Choice B is correct as ultrasound therapy can help reduce inflammation and alleviate symptoms. Choice C, 'Endoscopic carpal tunnel release,' is incorrect as it is a surgical procedure, not a nonsurgical treatment option for carpal tunnel syndrome.

• A. Blow nose gently without blocking nostrils
• B. Wear hearing protection when exposed to loud noise
• C. Avoid using cotton-tipped applicators to clean the external ear
• D. All of the above

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct health promotion teachings to prevent ear infection or trauma include blowing the nose gently without blocking nostrils, wearing hearing protection when exposed to loud noise, and avoiding the use of cotton-tipped applicators to clean the external ear. Blocking one nostril when blowing the nose is incorrect, as it can cause problems. Therefore, choice A is inaccurate. Additionally, using cotton-tipped applicators to clean the external ear can lead to trauma or infection, making choice C a correct preventive measure.
