Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
When the patient takes water with a tablet, it not only helps in swallowing but also helps dissolve the medication and increase its solubility.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
If the ordered dose is smaller than the dose provided (so that some medication must be discarded), or if the medication is accidentally dropped, contaminated, spilled, or otherwise made unusable and unreturnable, two nurses must sign the inventory report and describe the situation.
