Answer to Question 1

ANSWER: C

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER:
Healthcare facilities may release mercury into the air when waste is incinerated. Also, older thermometers and sphygmomanometers may contain mercury which will leak if the equipment breaks. A mercury spill kit must be available for any mercury containing equipment. The best strategy to avoid exposure to mercury is to replace mercury-containing equipment with alternatives.
