Answer to Question 1

A
Communication failures are the leading cause of preventable patient injuries and death, according to The Joint Commission.
High-technology equipment is not the leading cause of preventable patient injuries and death, according to The Joint Commission.
Medication administration is not the leading cause of preventable patient injuries and death, according to The Joint Commission.

Answer to Question 2

D
The chart entry needs to include the specific response of the patient to the intervention.
Something is missing, but this option is vague and not the best choice.
The chart entry is not accurate.
The charting does need to show how the patient responded, but nurses should avoid subjective words such as well, fair, or poorly, so this answer is not the best choice.
