Answer to Question 1

4

Rationale: Cyclosporine is a powerful immunosuppressant and is the medication of choice for preventing organ rejection following allogenic transplantation. Prednisone is a glucocorticoid and may be administered concurrently with the cyclosporine. Probenecid is a uricosuric agent used to treat hyperuricemia. Indomethacin is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent.

Answer to Question 2

2

Rationale: Following surgery to repair a fractured hip, an abductor splint is used to maintain the affected extremity in good alignment. An overhead trapeze and bed pillow are also used, but they are not the priority item to be used in repositioning.
