Answer to Question 1

C
Harm reduction initiatives such as needle exchange programs, which are now available in most Canadian provinces, exemplify community nursing practice guided by primary health care, health promotion, empowerment, and ethical principles.
A nutrition clinic is not a harm reduction program.
A prenatal clinic is not a harm reduction program.
An exercise program is not a harm reduction program.

Answer to Question 2

B
Malpractice insurance provided by the employing institution covers nurses only while they are working within the scope of their employment at that institution. It is always wise to find out if malpractice insurance is provided by a secondary place of employment, in this case, the pharmacy, or the nurse should carry an individual malpractice policy to cover situations such as this.
