Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, D
Many interventions focus on physical care that is performed when treating patients. These interventions may include invasive procedures, such as starting an intravenous line or inserting a catheter, or they may be noninvasive, such as administering oral medications and repositioning.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, D, E
Some interventions prevent illness or complications and promote healthy activities or lifestyles. Interventions such as patient education and immunization programs are prevention oriented. Cleansing an incision is a nursing intervention that can help prevent infection. Educating a patient about risk-factor modification for cardiovascular disease may prevent a future myocardial infarction. Placing infants on their backs to sleep may reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome. Patients should be instructed to ask their care providers to wash their hands if they have not observed them doing so.
