Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

A glare filter may decrease the eyestrain that the nurse is experiencing. The nurse will not be allowed to chart on paper because the nursing documentation is electronic. A firm, flat board or hard surface to rest the palm is the best way to protect the wrist from injury. A lumbar support helps with appropriate body posture for the back.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A, B, C, D

Local health departments oversee a variety of health policies and the respective regulations. Typical programs include injury prevention campaigns; lead poisoning prevention efforts; and making safety equipment such as smoke detectors, children's bicycle helmets, and infant car seats available to families at no cost. Local departments of health usually administer the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) supplemental nutrition program, which provides food assistance to pregnant women and children under age 5 who are at risk for malnutrition. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is a federal agency that works to ensure the health and safety of Americans in the workplace. It provides training, outreach, and education to employers and employees, and encourages improvement of workplace safety and health.
