Answer to Question 1

B
A common perception is that incidences such as these, which do not involve physical injury or harm, but rather threats, are part of the job. Because of underreporting, data related to violence and aggression in the workplace may not be reflective of its true incidence.

Answer to Question 2

C
Evidence-based practice is a process of shared decision making in a partnership between patients and providers that involves the integration of research and other best evidence with clinical ex-pertise and patient values in health care decision making (Sackett et al., 2000).
