Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
At-risk behavior may occur when a nurse is not aware of, or does not appreciate, the risky nature of a behavior. Pre-pouring medications, for example, is misguided and unsafe, but not malicious. Forgetting to check an infant's car seat is a human error. Falsifying documentation and punishing a client are actions that would be deemed intentionally reckless.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
Reducing the rates of health care-associated infections is among the 2015 goals. Actions such as identifying aggressive clients, pairing nurses during home visits, and continuing education are beneficial, but none directly address the 2015 goals set out by the Joint Commission.
