Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The most common types of trace evidence from victims of violence are clothing, bullets, blood-stains, hairs, fibers, and small pieces of material, such as fragments of metal, glass, paint, and wood.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, D
The AAOHN is the professional organization for occupational health nurses. It supports the work of the occupational health nurse and advances the specialty by: promoting the health and safety of workers, defining the scope of practice and setting the standards of occupational health nurs-ing practice, developing the code of ethics for occupational health nurses with interpretive state-ments, promoting and providing continuing education in the specialty, advancing the profession through supporting research, and responding to and influencing public policy issues related to occupational health and safety. A nurse joining the AAOHN would most likely not go to lobby in Congress; rather, AAOHN provides a lobbyist to address pertinent issues. Joining the AAOHN will not assist the nurse in obtaining specialty certification.
