Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Nonopioid analgesics may be used to treat mild to moderate pain, often for conditions such as arthritis; joint, bone, and muscle pain; headache; dental pain; and menstrual pain. Opioid analgesics are typically used for moderate to severe pain as can occur with cancer, broken bones, and postoperative healing.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C
Feedback:
Nurses can help the nation achieve the 2020 National Health Goals to reduce long-term illness and early death in children by educating women to seek care during pregnancy so that congenital anomalies are less frequent and to teach unintentional injury prevention and the importance of immunizations so unintentional injuries and infectious diseases that can lead to long-term illness can be reduced. Physical activity expectations and dietary intake requirements are not strategies to achieve the 2020 National Health Goals to reduce long-term illness and early death in children.
