Answer to Question 1

B
Some patients are unaware of safety precautions, such as keeping medicine, poisonous plants, or other poisons away from children or reading the expiration date on food products. A nursing assessment will identify the patient's level of knowledge regarding home safety so that safety problems can be corrected with an individualized care plan.

Answer to Question 2

D
The Joint Commission has a pain standard that requires health care workers to assess all patients for pain on a regular basis. Many health care institutions have adopted this standard by recom-mending pain as a fifth vital sign.
