Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1, 2, 3, 4
The nurse's signature witnessing the consent means that the client voluntarily gave consent, that the client's signature is authentic, and that the client appears to be competent to give consent. When nurses provide consent forms for clients to sign, nurses must ask the clients if they under-stand the procedure for which they are giving consent. If clients deny understanding or you sus-pect they do not understand, notify the physician or nursing supervisor. Nursing care post pro-cedure should be discussed but is not inferred by a nurse's signature as a witness. Discussing possible risk factors is the physician's responsibility.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
Results showed that nurses who worked shifts lasting 12.5 hours or more had a three times greater likelihood of making an error. Overtime increased the odds of making at least one error regardless of length of original shift scheduled. The remaining options are not supported by re-search data.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
