  1. Solid body waste excreted through the anus from the large intestine.

  2. The set of practices intended to reduce the destruction caused by fire.

  3. Emergency care given immediately to an injured person.

  4. Involves all aspects of foot hygiene and preventive/corrective care of the foot and ankle.

The correct answer is: Involves all aspects of foot hygiene and preventive/corrective care of the foot and ankle.

Foot care encompasses all aspects of foot hygiene, including washing, drying, and moisturizing the feet, as well as inspecting feet for any signs of problems such as cuts, blisters, or infections. Preventive measures are critical, especially for individuals with conditions like diabetes, where proper foot care can help avoid serious complications. Corrective care may involve addressing existing foot issues, which can include simple treatments or referrals to specialists when needed. The comprehensive nature of foot care is essential to maintaining overall health, particularly for patients at higher risk for foot-related complications. This thorough understanding is vital in the role of a Certified Nursing Assistant, who plays a crucial part in ensuring patients maintain proper hygiene and health practices.
