Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
At the end of each shift, the contents of the locked cabinet are counted together by one nurse from each shift. A nurse who is willing to take the word of another nurse from the previous shift, without verifying the count, risks being held accountable for any shortages or discrepancies, and may be found guilty of falsifying records. If you go along with her, you are falsifying records.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Absorption involves the way a drug enters the body and passes into the body and tissues. Absorption takes place through the processes of diffusion, filtration, and osmosis.
