Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Locking wheels on beds and wheelchairs prevents them from rolling and precipitating a fall. Beds should be kept in low positions with the side rails down in most situations; restraints should be applied only as a last resort.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Body piercing is a quick procedure that does not require anesthesia, but the risk for infection is great. This risk includes local infection, hepatitis B virus, and HIV.
