Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Many activities are necessary to help decrease bacteria in the urinary tract (e.g., hygiene measures, proper diet, forcing fluids), to facilitate the treatment of UTIs, and help the urinary tract anti-infectives be more effective. Forcing fluids increases the amount of urine that is excreted and prevents urine from sitting in the bladder. It is helpful to keep the urine acidic, not alkaline and avoid sitting in water. The importance of cleansing is to cleanse from front to back. The use of sterile wipes is not necessary.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Methylphenidate is a controlled medication due to risk for physical and psychological dependence. As a result, the drug would be found in the controlled substance cabinet.

This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. 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.
