Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Parenteral routes include the intravenous, intramuscular, and subcutaneous routes.
Enteral routes include oral administration, including pills and liquid suspensions.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Complaints of easy bruising should concern the nurse because of the drug-to-drug interaction of two competing antagonist anticoagulant agents.
A loose tooth does not indicate any adverse effects from the combination of warfarin and acetylsalicylic acid.
Complaints of a UTI do not indicate any adverse effects from the combination of warfarin and acetylsalicylic acid.
Complaints of stiffness in the joints would not be the greatest concern in a patient taking both warfarin and acetylsalicylic acid.
