Answer to Question 1

A
Populations who benefit from telemonitoring include individuals who are noncompliant, frail and anxious, have a history of frequent hospitalizations or emergency room visits, or need frequent home visits without direct care.

Answer to Question 2

B
The ratio formula can be used to calculate dosages. If 10,000 units of heparin are prescribed and the dose on hand is 40,000 units/ml, 40,000 units should be divided into 10,000 to reach the amount of 0.25 ml as the dose the nurse should administer.
