Answer to Question 1

1
Explanation: 1. Reducing physiological stress can occur by receiving adequate rest and work breaks, rotating
staff between two shifts, and never scheduling double back shifts (shifts in which the
employee has only 8 hours of rest between shifts).

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 3
Explanation: 1. Conflict from family and professional roles, evening/night shift, and changes in family work
schedules add stress. Assistance from nursing staff should decrease the nurses level of stress
along with the assistance of a spouse.

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.
