Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Parenteral administration means medication administration into any part of the body other than by way of the gastrointestinal tract. This route includes medications administered via the vagina, eye, ear, nose and respiratory tract, skin, and by injection. Enteral indicates medication administration by way of the digestive tract. This route includes administration orally, buccally (inside the cheek), and via gastrointestinal tubes. Other forms of oral administration include sublingual (under the tongue) and translingual (through the tongue).

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
When treating the client's dog bite, the nurse should first cleanse the wound with warm, soapy water and rinse the area thoroughly. Next, the nurse should swab the area with alcohol. Applying direct pressure is for controlling hemorrhaging. Ice packs or ice bags are used for swollen areas and heat strokes. Applying an Ace roller bandage is for chest injuries.
