Correct Answer: C
Rationale: After receiving a recent tattoo, screening for hepatitis is crucial due to the risk of blood-borne hepatitis B or C if strict sterile procedures are not followed during the tattooing process.

When the healthcare provider is determining the appropriate size of a nasopharyngeal airway to insert, which body part should be measured on the client?
Correct Answer: D

Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is 'hospitalized.' Elderly individuals are at a higher risk of falls, especially when they are in new environments like hospitals due to unfamiliarity with the surroundings, medications, and potential mobility challenges. Being in a hospital can disrupt their usual routines and increase the risk of falls.
Choice A ('in their 80s') is not as directly related to the increased risk of falls in a hospital environment.
Choice B ('living at home') is a common setting for the elderly but does not address the specific risk associated with being hospitalized.
Choice D ('living on only Social Security income') is unrelated to the risk of falls based on the environment.
