Answer to Question 1

A, B, C
A drug administered in the epidural space spreads (1) by diffusion through the dura mater into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), where it acts directly on receptors in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord; (2) via blood vessels in the epidural space for systemic delivery; and/or (3) by means of absorption by fat in the epidural space, creating a depot where the drug is released slowly into the systemic circulation.

Answer to Question 2

errors
mistakes
problems
Patients consider falls, communication problems, and lack of nurse responsiveness as errors, along with medication errors and injury from medical equipment. It is important for nurses to understand what patients perceive as errors, so that patients will become partners in programs to prevent errors.
