Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Certain occupations, lifestyles, and environments place people in more hazardous situations. A worker who operates industrial machines is at greater risk for accidental injury as well as for hearing loss.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Alterations in sensory perception can have a serious effect on safety. A client whose tactile sense is impaired may not perceive temperature extremes that are a threat to safety. Although all the other statements may be necessary, they do not promote safety.
