Answer to Question 1

A
Unlike the erythrocytes, the leukocytes (white blood cells) have nuclei, are colorless, and live from a few days to several years.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (OBRA) imposed strict standards on the use of restraints in long-term care facilities. Anything that restricts a patient's movement can be considered a restraint and can result in litigation for false imprisonment and neglect. Thus, it is best to avoid restraints if possible. Bed alarm and staff supervision are effective and nonrestrictive for an agitated patient.
