Answer to Question 1

C
Erythrocytes (red blood cells) give blood its rich, red color.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Under the doctrine of respondent superior, various types of actions can create risks of liability for supervising nurses, including allowing incompetent persons to deliver care, using improperly functioning equipment, or assigning tasks to unqualified staff members. Questioning orders for medication, however, may be appropriate if the nurse has any doubts or questions about accuracy or advisability of the order.
