Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The nurse should keep the elbows flexed no more than 100 to 110 or use wrist rests to keep the wrists in a neutral position when working at a computer. The nurse should also work under nonglare lighting to avoid eye strain. Craning the neck sideways is not an ergonomic recommendation. Assistive devices are not relevant to computer work.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Chronic illness has a gradual onset and lasts for a long time. It is usually seen in old age but this is not a defining characteristic. It may or may not be due to acute illness. Chronic diseases are a major cause of morbidity in the population.
