Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Training schools in the United States profited by eliminating the need to pay employees because students worked without pay in return for training, which usually consisted of chores. US training schools were established by any hospital. There was no formal training; training was an outcome of work, which eliminated the need to pay employees. Nightingale training schools were affiliated with a few select hospitals, training of nurses provided no financial advantages to the hospital, and the training was formal, based on nursing care.

Answer to Question 2

B
When assessing patients for potential venipuncture sites, consider conditions that exclude certain sites. For example, because older adults and patients receiving corticosteroids have fragile veins, avoid sites that are easily bumped or moved, such as the dorsal surface of the hand. Venipuncture is contraindicated in a site that has signs of inflammation, infiltration, or thrombosis. An infected site is red, tender, swollen, and possibly warm to the touch. Avoid using an extremity with a vascular (dialysis) graft or fistula or on the same side as a mastectomy (breast surgery). Intravenous insertion in a foot vein is used with children but should be avoided in adults because of the danger of thrombophlebitis.
