Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Be sure you know the emergency numbers and code names used in your facility. For example, Mr. Red is a common code name for fire; code blue or Dr. Blue is a common code name for cardiac arrest; and Pink Alert is often used for an infant abduction. When calling, give the exact location and nature of the emergency, and your name.

D
Feedback:
Standard Precautions include the following: Maintenance of the nurse's personal immunizations, not the client's personal immunizations. Handwashing is completed with soap and water OR antibacterial solution. Wearing gloves and other protective equipment, as needed, and handling all sharps safely.
