Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, E
Drug therapy during pregnancy should be avoided. Recommendations by the provider are necessary during any stage of pregnancy. Pediatric and elderly patients are affected by differences in muscle mass and blood flow to muscles, as well as other physiological systems. Teenagers and adult patients do not typically require special considerations for medication administration.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, D
Absorption by passive diffusion across the membranes depends on the pH of the environment. Increased blood flow to gastric mucosa increases absorption of medication and decreases time of absorption. Drug absorption does not depend on the mental status of the patient. Fever does not affect drug absorption. The patient's absolute weight and body surface area do not affect drug absorption, although problems associated with weight greater than or less than normal may be a factor in the process.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
