Answer to Question 1

1
In order to protect client privacy and confidentiality with HIPAA laws, written information is to be covered so that casual observers cannot violate the law. Blank sheets should be placed over clipboards to obstruct viewing. The nurse is not covering the clipboard because of postsurgical care expectations. This action is not a surgeon or anesthesiologist's expectation.

Answer to Question 2

4
When it is necessary or desired to reach a therapeutic level of a medication more quickly, a loading dose may be prescribed. Intravenous administration will not help to achieve a therapeutic level more quickly. Administering the medication at hour of sleep or before breakfast will not help achieve a therapeutic level more quickly.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
