Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Chlorosorb is a poison, not flammable; it is not a skin or eye irritant nor a carcinogen.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The nurse should immediately alert the supervisor and call Code Pink so that all entrances to the facility are shut and the child is located. The facility's security personnel and local police can be notified later. OSHA deals with the rights of the employee at the workplace and would not be involved in this situation.
