Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, D, E
All of these statements are true and help to explain the reason back injuries continue to occur among nurses who have been taught the use of proper body mechanics.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Co-dependent people need to be needed. They become overinvolved with patients and go to extremes to rescue them by trying to solve their problems. Next, they devalue the rescued individual by implying that the individual cannot participate in his or her own care. Finally, they feel angry, unappreciated, and used as a result of the additional work and responsibility they have assumed.
