Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Milk, cream soup, and tomato juice are acceptable in a full liquid diet but not in a clear liquid diet. Tea is an acceptable component of a clear liquid diet.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
When combining more than one drug in a single syringe, the nurse should take exact amounts from each drug container because once the drugs are in the barrel of the syringe, there is no way to expel one without expelling the other. It is unnecessary to shake the syringe for 30 seconds or to use two injection sites. The two drugs would not be combining in a third, separate container before being drawn up.

It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
