Answer to Question 1

A
The supply of nurses is decreasing. An older population requires more nursing care, and new nursing positions in community-based health services have increased the need for nurses. Along with an aging workforce, job satisfaction in nursing is low.

Answer to Question 2

C
In order for a patient to acquire an infection, a series of elements needs to be present. Each element or link is necessary to result in an infection. This process is known as the infection chain and includes: microorganisms, source or reservoir, portal of exit from the reservoir, mode of transmission, portal of entry into the host, and susceptible host.
