Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Research has demonstrated that ergonomic programs in health care facilities reduce costs, injuries to employees, and missed workdays. These programs also enhance recruitment, retention, and satisfaction of employees.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The nurse should use established expected outcomes to evaluate the patient's response to care. The nurse should use creativity when designing new interventions to improve the patient's mobility status and should display humility when identifying those interventions that were not successful. Ask if the patient's expectations of care are being met and use objective data to determine the success of interventions.
