Answer to Question 1

3
If anthrax is suspected, ciprofloxacin IV is recommended. Oral ciprofloxacin is recommended for postexposure treatment. Adrenaline and oral Benadryl are not treatments for anthrax. There is a treatment for anthrax and the health care organization should be prepared for clients admitted with this disease.

Answer to Question 2

2
Risk factors for benign breast disease include caffeine use, imbalance between estrogen and progesterone, estrogen excess, hyperprolactemia, and age between 20 to 50 years. Smoking and alcohol intake are not risk factors for benign breast disease.
