Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Administration of more than the recommended dosage of nasal medication could lead to swelling of the nasal mucosa within the short time of drug administration. However, administering more than the recommended dosage may not cause onset of pain in the nares and sinuses, development of a sinus infection, or dryness of the nasal mucosa.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Unsaturated fat is a healthier form of fat than saturated fat. Saturated fats are more responsible for cardiac and vascular diseases. Trans fats are unsaturated fats that have been hydrogenated, a process in which hydrogen is added to the fat. Consumption of trans, saturated, and hydrogenated fats increases the risk of coronary heart disease.
