Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Nonpoint sources come from more diffuse exposures to pollution. Animal waste is the only dif-fuse exposure given. The others are considered point sources; point sources are individual, identi-fiable sources such as smoke stacks.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Nurses can reduce pollution by doing their part, which can include choosing to recycle paper, glass, cans, and plastic. Providing a tax incentive and creating laws would not be completed at the individual level to reduce pollution in the environment. Moving to an area with less pollution would not help to improve the problem.
