Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The patient should agree on a rotation plan for injection sites and this should be posted with the patient's medications or by the patient's bedside.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Antitussives should be used only for short periods of time because they can be addictive. They come only in oral form.
