Explanation:

• For question 44: Wiping from front - to - back during perineal care helps prevent bacteria from the anus from entering the urinary tract, reducing the risk of urinary tract infections. Restricting fluids can increase the risk of UTI, baths can be a source of infection for some, and cranberry juice is known to help prevent UTI.
• For question 45: Lying down soon after eating can worsen GERD symptoms as it allows stomach acid to flow back into the esophagus. Spicy foods can irritate the esophagus, having the largest meal at dinner can increase reflux, and eating in a reclined position is not advisable.
• For question 46: A cataract is characterized by the clouding of the eye's lens, which impairs vision. The lens doesn't disappear, stop functioning completely, or become swollen in the typical sense of cataract development.

Answer:

1. The NA should wipe from front to back when giving perineal care
2. asking the resident not to lie down for at least two to three hours after eating
3. the lens of the eye becomes cloudy
