Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
All of the activities may help the nurse stay up-to-date with practice, but the state board of nursing requires formal approved contact hours or what is defined as acceptable, such as a nursing college course may be awarded contact hours.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
Reading something does not mean the knowledge will be put into practice; following procedures is the best way to avoid an occupational injury. Gloves and assistance are not necessary for every task.
