Nurses have historically made discoveries related to chemical exposure when pe

ople presented with signs and symptoms related to known chemical toxicity. Ext
k k k k k k k k k k k



rapolation by toxicologists and biomonitoring are modern methods. Completing
k k k k k k k k k



a chemistry course doesnot show how to identify these possible relationships.

k k k k k k k k k k k k k



similarities are found among chemicals that have been placed in the same family? a.

b. Actions and associated risks

c. Effects that they have on the body
k k k k k k



d. Potency and toxicity k k




ANS: B k



Chemicals are grouped so it’s possible to understand the actions and risks associa
k k k k k k k k k k k k



ted with each group. Although some common health risks exist within these fami
k k k k k k k k k k k k



lies of chemicals, the possible health risks for each chemical should be evaluated
k k k k k k k k k k k k k



individually when a potentialhuman exposure exists.
