Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Bioaccumulation is the introduction of substances into ecologic food webs. Transport is generally accomplished by the way of wind patterns or aquatic system. Biomagnification is when the accumulation of a pollutant greatly exceeds the rate at which an organism eliminates it. Synergism is when a simultaneous action of separate substances or agencies together produces a greater total effect than the sum of individual effects.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Florence Nightingale emphasized the importance of clean and safe environments for proper recovery to health. Her emphasis was on pure air, pure water, efficient drainage, cleanliness, and light. Keeping the client and environment clean uses the concepts she emphasized.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
