Answer to Question 1

radiological event
A radiological event is the dispersal of radioactive material via a dirty bomb or by deliberate contamination of food supplies or water supplies or over the terrain.

Answer to Question 2

B
Assess the catheter connections; all should be firmly attached. If connections become detached, do not reattach because infection could occur. Notify the physician. The label on the device provides information regarding type of anesthetic, concentration, volume, flow rate, date and time prepared, and the name of the person who prepared it. The nurse should read this label. The dressing should be dry and intact. If not, stop the infusion and notify the physician. The catheter may not be placed properly. Assess for blood backing up in the tubing. If blood is present, stop the infusion and notify the physician. This indicates possible displacement of the catheter into a blood vessel.
