Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
Nurses should never put their fingers in or close to a clients mouth who is or has been experienc-ing seizure activity, to prevent being bitten in the event that the client should experience more seizure activity. The nurse is responsible for all of these measures in Answers 1, 2, and 3 to pro-vide for the safety of the client, as well as document the sequence of events including any unex-pected outcomes.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
The third prong is used to ground the piece of equipment. Improperly grounded equipment can cause electrical injury.
