Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Report immediately to physician or health care provider if the patient sustains a fall or an injury. The nurse must provide safe care, and doing nothing is not safe care. The scenario indicates the nurse has already assessed the patient. After the patient has stabilized, completing an incident report would be the last step in the process.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
One of the most effective methods for limiting the transmission of pathogens is the medically aseptic practice of hand hygiene. The most common means of transmission of pathogens is by the hands. While washing the wound is needed, the best method to prevent transmission is hand hygiene. Wearing gloves and possibly eye protection help protect the nurse, but handwashing is best for limiting the transmission of pathogens.
