workers. Which of the following topics would be most beneficial?
A) Principles of body alignment
B) The use of protective clothing
C) The use of ear plugs
D) Appropriate storage of combustable cleaning solutions
Ans: A
Feedback:
The clerical worker is primarily sedentary. The greatest concern would relate to
body alignment and positioning. Ear plugs would be most appropriate for the factory
worker. The use of protective clothing and the storage of hazardous materials would
be topics best suited for janitorial workers.

,C) Flush the eyes with water for 10 minutes.
D) Flush the eyes with a cool saline solution for a 10-minute period.
Ans: C

irrigation with lukewarm water for 10 to 15 minutes may reduce harmful effects.

C) Car seats are recommended until children are at least 10 years old.
D) Your child will be safe in the car using the provided shoulder harness and
lap belts.

booster seats, preferably those that use combination shoulder and lap belts, until the
car seat belt fits appropriately, typically when they have reached 4 feet, 9 inches
in height and are between 8 and 12 years of age.

nurse correctly recognizes which of the following about the use of these
documents? Select all that apply.
A) The incident report should be placed with the patients medical records.
B) Incident reports provide a clear, concise recording of the situation that can be
provided to the patients legal representative in the event of a lawsuit.
C) The incident report should include factual information about the incident.
D) The nurse should include their own personal perception about the cause of the
incident in the report.
E) Completion of the incident report should be noted in the nurses notes.
Ans: B, C
Feedback:
An accident, or injury, occurring in the hospital necessitates the filing of an incident
report. The document remains confidential and is not part of the patients medical
record. It completely describes all the aspects of the event that occurred.
Specifically, the report should include the accident, patient assessment, and
interventions provided for the patient. The report is used for internal review to
improve the system to prevent similar errors and cannot be subpoenaed by a court
of law.
