Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, D
Absorption refers to passage of medication molecules from the site of administration into the blood. Factors that influence medication absorption are the route of administration, ability of a medication to dissolve, blood flow to the site of administration, body surface area, and lipid so-lubility of a medication. After a medication is absorbed, it moves throughout the body. The rate and extent of distribution depend on the physical and chemical properties of medications and the physiology of the person taking the medication.

Answer to Question 2

B
Any condition (e.g., fatigue, breathing difficulty, or depression) that drains a person's energy impairs the ability to learn. Postpone teaching when an illness becomes aggravated by complica-tions such as pain, fever, or respiratory difficulty. Letting the patient know it is time to learn, im-plementing role-play, and showing a video will not enhance learning. The crying needs to be ad-dressed first.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
