Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
All needles (uncapped and unbroken) are disposed of in a rigid, puncture-resistant, tamper-proof container located near the site of use. Consequently, these containers should be installed in the patient's room. Needles and syringes are disposed of uncapped and unbroken. A used needle should not be transported to an area distant from use for disposal.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Specific information is necessary for hospitalized children. It is essential to be able to identify caloric intake and eating patterns for assessment and intervention purposes. That he tolerated breakfast well only provides information that the child did not become ill with the meal. Even if he finished all his breakfast, an evaluation cannot be completed unless the quantity of food ordered is known. Nutritional information is essential, especially for children with chronic illnesses.
