Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Regular insulin 10 units SubQ q AM is correct, because it uses correct and approved abbreviations.
Units should be written out; the use of U is incorrect, because it is an unapproved abbreviation.
SQ is not an approved abbreviation; SubQ should be used instead.
The use of a trailing zero is no longer approved; 10.0 should be written as 10.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
A placebo effect is caused by psychological factors, not physiological factors.
A placebo effect does not determine whether a patient has an illness.
A placebo is ordered for various reasons; each is individualized and not for specific classifications of drugs only.
A placebo effect may or may not be positive; depending on what the patient believes is the effect on the body.
