Answer to Question 1

D
Response:
Digoxin should be administered at regular intervals, every 12 hours, one hour before or two hours after feeding. If the child vomits digoxin, the nurse should not give a second dose and should wait until the next scheduled dose. It is not necessary to contact the physician.

Answer to Question 2

C
Response:
Stage II breast cancer is characterized by a tumor from 1 to 2 inches in diameter with spread to adjacent lymph nodes. Stage 0 cancer is an early stage in which the cancer is extremely localized. Stage I cancer involves a tumor that is localized and less than 1 inch in diameter. Stage III cancer involves a tumor that is 2 inches or larger with spread to other lymph nodes and tissues.
