Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Although implementation should follow the plan, the nurse must also prepare for unexpected problems. If the project fails, it is crucial to analyze what went wrong so it can be avoided in the future. Planning for the unexpected and unplanned events is the best response as it encompasses a variety of things that may go wrong. Any one or a combination of the other answers may be an unplanned event.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
A risk factor of less than one means the factor is actually protective, so the inexpensive lotion is helpful in preventing skin sores. A risk factor of more than one means the factor increases risk, so using the expensive lotion increases the probability of getting a skin lesion.
