Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
The whole family should regularly practice crawling on the floor, using escape routes, and having a meeting place outside the home in case of fire. Attempting to account for all family members before exiting the burning structure is dangerous and may result in the loss of life. Shock is possible with extension cords. Having a fire extinguisher is important but it should be kept in a area with access and not a closet.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
A client may have absorbable sutures closing the viscera and staples approximating the wound edges.
