Answer to Question 1

D
Smoking reduces the amount of functional hemoglobin in the blood, thus decreasing tissue oxy-genation.
Anti-inflammatory medications suppress protein synthesis.
Radiation creates tissue fragility.
Chemotherapeutic drugs can depress bone marrow function.

Answer to Question 2

D
The CCHSA requires that accredited health care institutions establish written nursing policies and procedures.
Standards of care help define the limits of professional liability. The CCHSA does not require an institution to establish the limits of professional liability.
Educational requirements for nurses are established by Nurse Practice Acts.
Nurse Practice Acts establish the scope of nursing practice. The rules and regulations enacted by the provincial board of nursing define the practice of nursing more specifically. The Canadian Nurses Association has developed standards for nursing practice that delineate the scope, func-tion, and role of the nurse and establish clinical practice standards.
