Answer to Question 1

2
The nitroglycerin in an ointment preparation is absorbed through the skin. The nurse should wear gloves to prevent the absorption of the medication through the nurse's skin. The application of a paste is not a sterile procedure. Wearing gloves is not one of the six rights of medication administration. Wearing gloves to provide this medication is not being done for infection control.

Answer to Question 2

1
Regular exercise can lower blood pressure by 5 to 10 mmHg. Regular exercise should be done 5 days a week for 60 minutes or 20 minutes of vigorous exercise at least 3 times a week to be effective. Regular exercise includes aerobic activity, flexibility, and strengthening exercises.
