Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 3
Rationale: Dehydration is a risk for athletes who participate in sports which include strenuous physical activity. Arranging a class for school athletes, including information for all students, and discussing fluid needs with the physical education staff would all be good interventions for the nurse. The nurse should not have to be present at all sports events.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Cobalt is an essential component of vitamin B12.
