Answer to Question 1

C
An expert witness is a person called by parties in a malpractice suit who is a member of the same profession as the party being sued and who is qualified to testify to the expected behaviors usually performed by members of the profession in a similar situation.

Answer to Question 2

B
The Z-track technique refers to a method used to administer intramuscular injections. The nurse should pull the skin to one side and insert the needle at a 90 degree angle. The site should not be massaged after removing the needle because massaging could cause tissue irritation.
