Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Having to travel to a facility for administration exposes people to environmental infections from other people.
Rationale 2: This is an advantage of intravenous delivery.
Rationale 3: This can be a disadvantage, in that the client must travel to a facility.
Rationale 4: Sclerosing of the veins can actually occur during prolonged administration.
Global Rationale: One advantage to the IV route is that a constant and consistent serum level of the drug can be obtained by fine adjustments to the infusion rate. Having to travel to a facility for administration exposes people to environmental infections from other people and is inconvenient. Sclerosing of the veins can actually occur during prolonged administration.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2,000,000
Rationale: If the drug kills 99 of 2 billion cells, then 1, or 2 million, remain.
Global Rationale: If the drug kills 99 of 2 billion cells, then 1, or 2 million, remain.
