Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Cancer does not pose a threat to homeland security.
Rationale 2: Seasonal flu does not pose a threat to homeland security.
Rationale 3: Tuberculosis does not pose a threat to homeland security.
Rationale 4: Smallpox, anthrax, botulism, plague, viral hemorrhagic fevers, and tularemia are the agents that are of highest concern with bioterrorism.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Assigning the client to the farthest room from the nurses' station would be an unsafe move toward the client; closer would be safer than farther.
Rationale 2: Placing a rocking chair in the client's room will help her to expend some of her energy so that she will be less inclined to walk and wander.
Rationale 3: Pulling up all the side rails is a restraint, so that action would not be an alternative.
Rationale 4: Keeping pillows wedged against the side rails will not keep the client from wandering. She is not in the bed.
