Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
The nurse who witnessed the incident is the one who completes the report. Details of the incident should be objectively described. An explanation of the possible cause is not included. The se-quence of events is described objectively. A notation is not included in the medical record that an incident report was written.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
In this example, the client blames others and complains. The client often directs anger toward the nurse or others. The remaining options are other stages of the grieving process.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
