Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Streptococcal pharyngitis is a disease that is spread by droplets. Hence, the nurse should follow droplet precautions for clients with streptococcal pharyngitis. The nurse should follow contact precautions for clients with illnesses that spread through contact transmission. Examples of illnesses that spread by contact transmission include drug-resistant gastroenteritis; respiratory, skin, and wound infections; hepatitis A; herpes simplex virus; impetigo; scabies; and pediculosis. The nurse should follow airborne precautions for clients with illnesses that spread through airborne transmission. Tuberculosis (TB), measles, and chickenpox are examples of airborne-transmitted infections. Clients who must be protected from the outside environment and need to be shielded from others' microorganisms are kept in protective isolation.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
With transdermal patches, the drug is released for 12 hours to 30 days. In depot, decanoate injections the drug is released for 2 to 3 weeks.
