Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
To ensure accuracy and safety, the nurse should administer medications based on individual dosages in milligrams, micrograms, or units, not on variables such as tablets, teaspoons, or milliliters, for which the concentration may vary.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Selective pressure, or natural selection, refers to the survival of the fittest bacteria. When antibiotic therapy is initially begun, the weakest bacteria are killed first while the strongest bacteria, which are best able to withstand the effects of antibiotic therapy, remain. This contributes to antibiotic resistance. Resistance is not the result of an extended G0 phase, impaired distribution, or bacterial appropriation of human genetic material.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
