Answer to Question 1

C
A procedure-related accident is caused by health care providers and includes medication and fluid administration errors, not putting external devices on correctly, and improperly performing procedures such as dressing changes. A poisoning accident is related to inhaled or ingested substances. An equipment-related accident results from misuse, disrepair, malfunction, or electrical hazard. An accident related to time management deals with the nurse's inability to follow an organization's policy and procedures.

Answer to Question 2

A
Stage I: Intact skin with nonblanchable redness of a localized area, usually over a bony prominence
Stage II: Partial-thickness loss of dermis presenting as a shallow open ulcer with a red-pink wound bed, without slough; may also present as an intact or open/ruptured serum-filled blister
Stage III: Full-thickness tissue loss; subcutaneous fat may be visible, but bone, tendon, or muscle is not exposed; slough may be present but does not obscure the depth of tissue loss; may include undermining and tunneling
Stage IV: Full-thickness tissue loss with exposed bone, tendon, or muscle; slough or eschar may be present; often includes undermining and tunneling
