Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Bicillin LA is given by a deep intramuscular injection. This needle is used for subcutaneous injections. The other options are all correct actions the student should take.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Tetracycline, minocyline, and doxycycline all cause photosensitivity, so the nurse should warn the teen about sun exposure and use of tanning beds. Skin cleansing should be gentle. Although acne treatments are very drying, makeup and moisturizers should not be applied on top of the dry skin. Pregnancy tests are done prior to starting treatment with Accutane, every month during treatment, and 1 month after treatment has stopped.
