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.

The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
