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.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
