Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: 2. Promoting recycling efforts can decrease the garbage stream, the amount of trash generated, and landfill space. In addition, recycling can promote energy conservation, which reduces use of fossil fuels. Educating the community about overbuying household products does not necessarily mean that garbage generation would decrease. Educating about the use of fewer polluting products or discouraging use of trash-generating materials also does not mean that garbage generation would decrease.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4
Explanation: 4. Educating the public about the hazards of household chemical and medications and appropriate storage is a primary prevention intervention the nurse should use for poison control. Targeting homes for poisons does not represent an intervention. Enforcing local ordinances is not a realistic responsibility of the nurse. Promoting legislation is an appropriate action, but will not necessarily result in a decrease in hotline calls.
