Answer to Question 1

A
In breaking the link between agent and reservoir, a nurse can use modalities such as cleansing, removal of soil or organic material from equipment; disinfection, elimination of pathogens (except spores) from inanimate objects with disinfectants and germicides; and sterilization, total elimination of microorganisms from instruments and other supplies used in client care.

Answer to Question 2

B
More career opportunities are available for the LP/VN in long-term care facilities than in the other services described in this chapter. The LP/VN may act as a supervisor for the evening or night shifts. The nurse needs sharp assessment skills and a sound ability to make nursing judgments based on assessment findings. The LP/VN may also be expected to supervise and coordinate the work of nursing assistants.
