Answer to Question 1

C
The most important nursing intervention is to maintain airway and circulation for this patient; therefore, Impaired gas exchange is the first nursing priority. Activity intolerance is a concern but is not the priority in this case. Risk for skin breakdown and Risk for infection are also important but do not address an immediate impairment with physiologic integrity.

Answer to Question 2

C

B Lady Ishbel Aberdeen, who was president of the National Council of Women, approved the formation of the VON in 1898.

She decried the exploitation of nurses in schools of nursing and envisioned university degree programs in nursing.
