Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
It is clear that there is no more important teaching than that which the nurse gives to the patient about his disease and its drug treatment.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
It must be stressed that the nurse must never give medication prepared by another nurse. Medications should not be given and orders not carried out.
