Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Radiation burns result from exposure to radioactive sources, such as the ionizing radiation used in industry, or therapeutic radiation; sunburns are another type of radiation burn. Thermal burns, the most common type of burn, are caused by steam, hot water scalds, flames, and direct contact with heat sources. Electrical burns are potentially life-threatening burns caused by electric shocks from exposure to the AC or DC current of electricity or lightning. Chemical burns are caused by exposure to strong acids, alkalis, or other substances such as detergents or solvents.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The hospital gown allows easier access to suture lines, wounds, and equipment such as intravenous lines, and facilitates special tests and procedures. It does not facilitate quick identification of the client.
