Answer to Question 1

C
A nurse's highest priority when providing client care is to maintain a safe environment. The ways in which nurses can promote a safe environment in a health care setting include properly identifying clients; increasing clients' awareness of safety precautions; instituting strategies to prevent falls; reducing bathroom hazards; preventing fires, poisoning, choking, suffocation, and drowning; checking equipment safety; and reducing noise pollution and exposure to radiation.

Answer to Question 2

B
A critical period of development refers to a specific phase or period when the presence of a func-tion or reasoning has its greatest effect on a specific aspect of development. For example, if a child does not walk by 20 months, there is delayed gross motor ability, which slows exploration and manipulation of the environment. Freud's psychoanalytic model of personality development is grounded in the belief that two internal biological forces drive the psychological change in a child: sexual (libido) and instinctive forces. Erik Erikson (1902-1994) expanded Freud's psy-choanalytic stages into a psychosocial model that covered the whole life span. In this theory, Erikson divided life into eight stages, known as Erikson's eight stages of development. Jean Piaget (1896-1980) developed the theory of cognitive development, which describes children's intellectual organization and how they think, reason, and perceive the world.

Anesthesia awareness is a potentially disturbing adverse effect wherein patients who have been paralyzed with muscle relaxants may awaken. They may be aware of their surroundings but unable to communicate or move. Neurologic monitoring equipment that helps to more closely check the patient's anesthesia stages is now available to avoid the occurrence of anesthesia awareness.

It is believed that the Incas used anesthesia. Evidence supports the theory that shamans chewed cocoa leaves and drilled holes into the heads of patients (letting evil spirits escape), spitting into the wounds they made. The mixture of cocaine, saliva, and resin numbed the site enough to allow hours of drilling.
