Explanation:

1. Residents with diabetes need shoes that allow air - flow to prevent foot complications. Breathable materials such as leather, cotton, or canvas are ideal. Plastic, wooden, and rubber shoes may not be as breathable.
2. When providing skin care for a cancer patient, areas receiving radiation therapy are sensitive and applying lotion can cause irritation. Lotion can be used on non - radiation areas for dry skin, backrubs can be beneficial in some cases, and not moving the resident is not practical or beneficial.
3. A resident with AIDS and foot numbness, tingling, and pain should wear loose slippers to avoid constriction that can worsen discomfort. Tight elastic bandages, snug shoes, and tucking sheets around feet can cause pressure and discomfort.

Answer:

1. breathable shoes (leather, cotton, or canvas)
2. avoiding applying lotion to areas receiving radiation therapy
3. wearing loose slippers
