Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1, 2, 3
Signs and symptoms of lead poisoning typically include impaired hearing, vomiting, headaches, appetite loss, and learning and behavioral problems. The remaining options are not typically seen with this condition.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Safety in health care settings reduces the incidence of illness and injury, prevents extended length of treatment and/or hospitalization, improves or maintains a client's functional status, and increases the client's sense of well-being. A safe environment gives protection to the staff as well, allowing them to function at an optimal level. A safe environment includes meeting basic needs, reducing physical hazards, reducing the transmission of pathogens, maintaining sanitation, and controlling pollution. While a reduction of illness is an expectation, there is no assurance of the freedom from illness.
