Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
More than 42 of falls in an acute care agency were toileting related, often involving getting out of bed or ambulating to the bathroom, slipping from the toilet or commode, or standing to use the urinal. This exceeds the role of other variables, including agitation, polypharmacy and impaired sleep.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
Common risks in health care facilities are exposure to bloodborne pathogens from stick injuries via used needles, back injuries caused by heavy lifting, and potential adverse reproductive outcomes as a result of overexposure to antineoplastic medications. On oncology divisions, the nurse is continually exposed to antineoplastic agents.
