Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
In 2001, the Needlestick Safety and Prevention Act was legislated to require hospitals to have programs to prevent needlestick injuries, document them when they occur, and purchase safe equipment, regardless of cost.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
If the patient has nausea or stomach pain when taking aspirin, that is a side effect but not an allergy.
