Answer to Question 1

D
A variety of safeguards and standards exist to aid in the prevention of workplace injury and occupational hazards. Some of these measures that relate to environmental agents include: 1) be aware of bioterrorist alert plans, 2) develop a violence reduction plan, 3) rotate shifts clockwise (day to night), 4) assess for dangerous chemicals in your workplace, and 5) determine whether Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) standards are in place. Using personal protection equipment is an example of a safeguard for infectious agents. Assessing the workplace for the amount of noise is an example of a physical agent safeguard, and developing standards of care for handling hazardous agents is an example of a chemical safeguard.

Answer to Question 2

B
Some tactics that may be used to enhance the quality of one's sleep include: 1) reserve your bed for sleeping only, 2) do not use caffeine to stay awake or alcohol to fall asleep, 3) make sleep a priority, 4) establish a routine before bed that is repeated nightly, 5) try drinking warm milk or decaffeinated tea at bedtime, and if thoughts of work prevent you from falling asleep, write your thoughts down on a piece of paper and leave them there to deal with in the morning.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
