D
Feedback:
Management of clients during illness and recovery is one of the focus areas of nursing research supported by the NINR. Safety and health protection in the workplace, occupational exposure to blood-borne pathogens, and prevention of occupational hazards are focus areas of OSHA.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The skin provides a physical barrier and secretes enzymes that kill or reduce the virulence of bacteria. Mechanical reactions, such as coughing or sneezing, help remove pathogenic material. Chemical barriers, such as the normal flora (microorganisms) of the GI system, neutralize or kill microorganisms. Tears dilute and wash away irritating substances and microbes.
