Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The Americans with Disabilities Act prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability. The core of this law requires employers to adjust facilities and practices for the purpose of making reasonable accommodations to enhance opportunities for individuals with disabilities. The occupational health nurse has the duty to provide or facilitate reasonable accommodations based on the nurse's familiarity with the physical requirements of jobs in the workplace. If this candidate was indeed the perfect fit for the position, not hiring the candidate because of the disability would be considered discrimination. If other employees are not kind to this candidate after the candidate is hired, they will likely face reprimand by the employer.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Global warming is the gradual increase in the average temperature of Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-twentieth century and its projected continuation (Easterling, 2011). Rising global temperatures may enhance the quantity and distribution of parasites, insects, and other disease vectors, potentially increasing the prevalence of a variety of infectious diseases.
