Answer to Question 1

B
Some patients are unaware of safety precautions, such as keeping medicine, poisonous plants, or other poisons away from children or reading the expiration date on food products. A nursing as-sessment will identify the patient's level of knowledge regarding home safety so that safety problems can be corrected with an individualized care plan. Although the other responses are important, they are not the focus of home safety issues, but financial and emotional aspects of care.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The statement, Dispose of the disconnected IV set is in accordance with the delegation guidelines of right direction. The nurse should provide all the necessary information to carry out the assigned task. The other statements do not follow the delegation guideline of right direction because the tasks mentioned in the other instructions are not a nursing assistant's role.
