Answer to Question 1

C
Frequent repositioning, which temporarily relieves pressure, is the backbone of preventive protocols. It is the nurse's responsibility to use appropriate turning schedules for patients in bed or on a chair. No bed or mattress totally eliminates the need for competent nursing care.

Answer to Question 2

Smoking
Smoking is a major cause of lung cancer, heart disease, and chronic lung disease (emphysema and chronic bronchitis). Smoking accounts for 29 of all lung cancer deaths in the United States.
