Answer to Question 1

D
Potential hazards for nurses include the exposure to diseases through blood borne pathogens or pulmonary tuberculosis. Using chemical substances such as latex is also an occupational hazard for nurses. Ergonomic stressors such as lifting and moving patients, which can cause back injuries, can lead to work-related musculoskeletal disorders.

Answer to Question 2

C
Expected outcomes are specific objectives related to the goals and are used to evaluate the nursing interventions. They must be measurable, have a time limit, and be realistic. Once goals and expected outcomes have been established, nursing interventions are planned that assist the patient to reach the goals.
