Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Most vaccines can cause fever and soreness at the site of injection. Acetaminophen (e.g., Tylenol) can be taken two to three times daily for 24 to 48 hours if needed to decrease fever and discomfort. Aspirin and heat are not explicitly recommended; opioids are not necessary.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Atropine 0.5 mg should be administered IV every 3 to 5 minutes and may be repeated up to 3 mg. Atropine can be administered every 24 hours, but this administration is not the recommended therapy for bradycardia. Atropine can be administered every 6 hours, but this administration is not the recommended therapy for bradycardia. Atropine can be given in 30 minutes, but this administration is not the recommended therapy for bradycardia.
