Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Firearms should be stored in a secure location with trigger locks in place. Ammunition should be stored in a separate location also locked. Proper permits should be obtained as appropriate. Loaded firearms should never be stored where children can access them.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) was established in 1970 to provide employers with guidelines for preventing exposure to hazardous chemicals and hazardous situations and reducing the risk of injury in the workplace. The CDC is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and provides information to address exposure to infectious diseases. QSEN, or the Quality and Safety Education for Nurses, was funded by the RWJ to focus on preparing nurses of the future with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to advance quality and safety on the job. NIOSH, or the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, is a federal agency within the CDC that was established to conduct research and recommend interventions for the prevention of work-related injury and illness.
