Answer to Question 1

A, B
Feedback:
These antiviral agents act on viruses by interfering with normal viral replication and metabolic processes. They are indicated for specific local viral infections. The medications do not interfere with the invaded cell or with viral transcription and they do not increase antibody production.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The nurse's priority action is to slow the rate of injection because rapid injection of benzodiazepines can result in hypotension and bradycardia and can lead to cardiac arrest.
