Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
To improve the safety of using medications, the nurse should label all medications (e.g., syringes, medicine cups) in procedural settings. To improve the accuracy of patient identification, the nurse should use two patient identifiers that are not the patient name, number, or bed tag. For verbal orders, the person receiving the order should read it back. The nurse should also standardize a list of abbreviations, acronyms, and symbols that are not to be used throughout the organization.

A
Feedback:
Bandages and binders have many purposes and therapeutic benefits:
Among them are supporting a limb or joint, supporting a wound or incision, holding dressings in place, and holding a pad to absorb drainage.
