Answer to Question 1

A, B, D
Feedback:
The goals that a nurse may have in the case of a myocardial infarction in an elderly person include the following: to aid in prompt diagnosis, to reduce cardiovascular stress, and to prevent and promptly identify complications. It would not be appropriate to minimize causative factors as the causative factors for myocardial infarction have already occurred.

Answer to Question 2

C
One can reduce the risk of becoming infected with West Nile virus by applying insect repellent to exposed skin. Choose an insect repellant that contains diethyltoluamide (DEET) and one that provides protection for the amount of time you will be outdoors.
