Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Pharmaceutical companies sometimes employ RNs and LPN/LVNs in sales and marketing positions. Nurses working in these companies have an advantage over other salespeople because they understand the actions and side effects of medications and may be able to communicate information better to physicians. Many candidates will have expert communication skills, but knowledge of the product enhances these skills.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The most common complication of high-dose chemotherapy is infection or sepsis. This is the result of the elimination of the body's neutrophils (WBCs, which fight infection) along with the destruction of cancer cells. The client is generally placed on protective precautions for several weeks until the transplanted bone marrow is producing adequate amounts of WBCs.
