Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Setting is the influence of the physical, social, and cultural environmental within which the use occurs. All of these environments influence the use of drugs. A back alley, an area at the local high school, and individuals using the drug do not address all of the aspects of setting.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The nurse collects a urine specimen with the rationale that urinalysis for drug testing can be used to determine whether a certain drug has been used in the recent past. Urine testing indicates only past use of certain drugs, not intoxication. The extent of performance impairment cannot be de-termined with urine testing. Alcohol is not always included in a urine drug screen.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
