Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Performing laboratory procedures is a nonnursing procedure performed by the nurse in this setting. Recording electrocardiograms and administering inhalation/nebulizer therapy are other nonnursing procedures performed by the nurse in this setting. Teaching clients and families, arranging for hospital admission, and assisting with sterile procedures are nursing procedures.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
