Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, D
Implementing evidence-based interventions and programs (e.g., lift teams) reduces the number of work-related injuries, which improves the health of the nurse and reduces indirect costs to the health care facility (e.g., workers' compensation and replacing injured workers). Knowing the movements and functions of muscles in maintaining posture and movement and implementing evidence-based knowledge about safe patient handling are essential to protecting the safety of both the patient and the nurse.

Answer to Question 2

ANS:
99

Teach patients to calculate their maximum heart rate by subtracting their current age in years from 220 and then obtaining their target heart rate by taking 60 to 90 of the maximum, depending on their health care provider's recommendation. 220  55 = 165  0.6 = 99.
