Doug needs help shaving his face. Emily, the nursing assistant, checks his chart and makes sure he is not on any anticoagulants. She asks him if he has any preferences. Doug requested a close shave. Which best describes what Emily should do to accommodate Doug?
Answer
A
Emily should use an electric shaver and shave in the opposite direction of hair growth.
B
Emily should use an electric shaver and shave in the same direction of hair growth.
C
Emily should use a safety razor and shave in the opposite direction of hair growth.
D
Emily should use a safety razor and shave in the same direction of hair growth.
Explanation
Because Doug is not taking anticoagulants, Emily can use a safety razor; an electric shaver is generally preferred when bleeding risk is increased. She should shave in the same direction as the hair grows to reduce skin irritation and cuts. Thus, the best choice is to use a safety razor and shave with hair growth.
