Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The student should wash his or her hands, don gloves, and then remove the packing. The other actions are correct.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
A chainsaw becomes dangerous to hearing after 2 hours of exposure without hearing protection. This client needs to be referred as the priority. Normal car traffic is safe for more than 8 hours. Motorcycle noise is safe for about 8 hours. The safe exposure time for a front-row rock concert seat is 3 minutes, but this client was in the back, and so had less exposure. In addition, a one-time exposure is less damaging than chronic exposure.
