Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Nurse coroners exhibit communication skills when dealing with grieving families. Nurses are educated in therapeutic communication and practice those skills in any setting. Nurses are acutely aware of the importance of using open-ended questions, attentively listening, and being fully present with family and friends.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Industrial nurses have always been autonomous in their practice and received appropriate pay, except during the Great Depression when many nurses lost their positions. The focus of health care for employees changed as a result of many factors, including the impact of the two world wars. During World War I, the government demanded health services for workers at factories and shipyards holding defense contracts. In 1942, during WWII, the U.S. Surgeon General told an audience of nurses that the health conservation of the industrial army was the most urgent civilian need during the war. Not all societies have industrialized.
