Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
A concept map is primarily a tool for organizing data and identifying relationships. It is not primarily a tool for prioritizing particular health problems or facilitating evaluation of interventions. Concept mapping can be used to inform care planning, but the two processes are not synonymous.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The nurses are performing the double-bagging infection control measure, in which one bag of contaminated items, such as trash or laundry, is placed within another. Personal protection, airborne precautions, and droplet precautions are important infection control measures but they do not describe this particular action.
