Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The sublingual area is underneath the tongue. Between the molar teeth and cheek is the buccal area. Medication administered below the skin surface is intradermal administration. The conjunctival sac is between the eyelids and eyeball.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
AlgiDERM is manufactured from seaweed and is recommended for infected wounds because it is an exudate absorber. Telfa and OpSite do not absorb exudates. DuoDerm is for light to moderate wound drainage. According to the manufacturer, it does absorb exudates, but it is best for wounds with moderate drainage.
