Answer to Question 1

A, B, D
Antibodies are involved in specific surface protections; they catch and trap bacteria. White blood cells provide general and specific internal protection against infection. Intact skin, mucous membranes, pH of body fluids, normal body flora, and products in saliva, perspiration, tears, and mucus all provide general surface protection and prevent bacteria from entering the body.

Answer to Question 2

D
Difficulty sleeping and concentrating, tiredness, and feeling hopeless are signs of depression. Metoclopramide can cause mild to severe depression. The nurse should hold the drug and notify the prescriber. This drug should not be prescribed for patients with a history of depression.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
