Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
According to the World Health Organization, in 2007, 30 of the world population consisted of children and 8 of the population were over age 60. The percentage of teenaged adolescents and Caucasians is not reported in the text.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Because 25 of worldwide preventable illnesses are caused by poor environmental quality, nurses need to ask critical questions about their clients' work and home environments to help discern the contributions of specific hazards to their health. This can be accomplished by an environmental health history. The other responses do not address a question that would be addressed during an environmental health history.
