Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The nurse should check agency guidelines before giving a ride to a client or to a family member to make sure insurance is valid in this situation. The nurse should also look before entering an elevator; in buildings, use common walkways, avoiding isolated stairs, lock the car doors immediately when getting inside before putting things away, park the car in full view of the client's residence, and avoid parking in alleys or on deserted side streets, if at all possible.
