Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The client wears a mask or particulate air filter respirator if the pathogen is transmitted by the airborne or droplet route. It is unnecessary to perform specific cleaning before using the stretcher. Gloves and blankets do not prevent airborne or droplet transmission.

Answer to Question 2

D
Atheists search for meaning in life through their work and relationships with others. Spirituality exists in all people regardless of their religious beliefs and it gives people the energy needed to maintain health and cope with difficult situations. Spirituality is an important concept for indi-viduals who either do not believe in the existence of God (atheist) or who believe that any ulti-mate reality is unknown or unknowable (agnostic). It is important for agnostics to discover meaning in what they do or how they live because they find no ultimate meaning for the way things are. They believe that we, as people, bring meaning to what we do.
