Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Psychotherapeutic medications do not cure mental illness; they act by controlling symptoms. Thus, it is important for the nurse to stress to the family that the medication is controlling the symptoms and the child needs their continued support. Both of these factors are important for the long-term success and treatment of the child.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Agricultural machinery is the most common cause of fatalities and nonfatal injuries of U.S. agricultural workers, including on-farm fatalities among youth under 20 years of age (CDC, NIOSH Program, 2012). Tractor-related accidents, especially rollovers, are the most frequent causes of farm accidents and account for more than one fourth of farm fatalities.
