a. climbing stairs with assistance.
b. ambulating with assistance.
c. wandering in limited areas.
d. usage of a walker with no assistance.

The answer is letter d, “Usage of a walker with no assistance.”

Explanation:

Nursing Care – This includes holistic care for all people of varying age and background. It mainly focuses on the nurse’s plan of care for the patient.  

Activities of daily living include eating, taking a shower or bath, commuting, climbing the stairs, etc.  

Total Mobility Dependence – A condition whereby a patient is able to do things on his or her own, without any form of assistance.  

Letters a and b are both requiring the assistance of a nurse. Letter c doesn’t require any assistance but the patient can only wander in a limited area. It means he still needs some assistance in some areas. So, the answer is letter d. The patient can use a walker on his own without the help of anyone. This means he is independent and can do what he wants without any form of assistance.

1. cold turkey (no outside ). about 90% of people who try to quit smoking do it without outside support -- no aids, therapy, or medicine. although most people try to quit this way, it's not the most successful method. only about 5% to 7% are able to quit on their own.

2. behavioral therapy. this involves working with a counselor to find ways not to smoke. together, you'll find your triggers (such as emotions or situations that make you want to smoke) and make a plan to get through the cravings.

3. nicotine replacement therapy. there are several types, including nicotine gum, patches, inhalers, sprays, and lozenges. they work by giving you nicotine without the use of tobacco. you may be more likely to quit with nicotine replacement therapy, but it works best when you use it with behavioral therapy and lots of support from friends and family. and remember that the goal is to end your addiction to nicotine, not simply to quit using tobacco.
