Answer to Question 1

Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was established to provide a unifying core as the basis for efforts to prevent and discourage terrorist attacks. This governmental agency coordinates the efforts of multiple organizations to secure and maintain the safety of our nation.

Answer to Question 2

C
Administer pain-relieving medications as ordered. Analgesics are the cornerstone of pain management. Smoothing wrinkles in bed linens may reduce pressure and irritation to the skin; however, pain-relieving medication should be given first. Changing a wet surgical dressing might not be needed if the patient has received a wet-to-dry dressing as treatment, or if not changing the dressing will reduce irritation to the skin but will not address the discomfort. Reposition underlying tubes, wires, or equipment that may apply pressure directly to dependent skin surfaces. Removing these stimuli may maximize the response to pain-relieving interventions such as medication, but pain-relieving medication should be administered first.
