Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Providing a central place for reporting infections is a goal of the infection committee. Determining the history of clients' illnesses, maintaining hygiene in the healthcare facility, and improving coordination between nurses and physicians are not the goals of the infection control committee.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Output includes vomitus, bleeding, chest tube and other drainage, thoracentesis, paracentesis, and nasogastric suction, as well as urine. Fluid intake includes items such as Jell-O, ice, Popsicles, sherbet, thin cereal, broth, tube feedings, and IV fluids.
