Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, D, E
Hospital and other health care workers are exposed to infectious diseases, heavy lifting, radiation, skin disorders, and anesthetic gases. Dust may be a health hazard for those employed in textile and apparel. Launderers and dry cleaners may be exposed to heat and chemicals as a health hazard. Solvents and acids may be a health hazard for those employed in electronics.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D, F
Reasons that it is important for nurses to work with families include that the family is a resource in giving care to its members and working together on health promotion and wellness activities; any dysfunction (illness, injury, separation) that affects one family member will affect the whole family; the nurse can often identify a health problem that involves risks for the entire family. Finally, understanding the whole family helps the nurse understand and provide more holistic care to the individual.
