Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Adequate error and near miss event reporting are necessary to designing better, safer systems. Failure to report and track errors and near misses actually increases the likelihood of other errors.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
It is important to make verbal and written information as simple as possible. Nurses need to assess the health literacy level of each client. Nurses should provide privacy to avoid embarrassment and obtain feedback or teach-backs to determine the client's understanding of teaching: Simplify, Clarify, Verify
