Answer to Question 1

A
Nurses are often advised not to document the filing of an incident report in the nurses' notes for legal reasons. The incident report serves two functions: it informs the organization's administration of the incident, so risk management personnel can consider changes that might prevent similar occurrences in the future; and it alerts the organization's insurance company to a potential claim and the need for further investigation.

Answer to Question 2

2. The skin synthesizes vitamin D from sunlight..

Rationale:
The skin performs several essential functions. One of these is the synthesis of vitamin D from ultraviolent light. If the client is not exposed to ultraviolet light, there is a risk for developing a vitamin D deficiency. In the United States cow's milk is fortified with vitamin D, and there is nothing to suggest the client drinking another kind of milk. A loss of melanin does not lead to a decrease in vitamin D. Insufficient protein intake does not cause a vitamin D deficiency.
