Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
When giving a parenteral form of an antipsychotic, the patient should remain recumbent to decrease the risk of injury if orthostatic hypotension occurs. Eating after drug injection should not interfere with the drug's absorption and although adequate hydration should be maintained there is no need to increase fluid intake. Avocados and oranges are not contraindicated in patients receiving this medication.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
These processes are key elements in determining the amount of drug (dose) and the frequency of dose repetition (scheduling) required to achieve the critical concentration for the desired length of time. The processes in dynamic equilibrium are not key elements in determining the amount of diluents for intramuscular (IM) drugs; they do not aid in the timing of the other drugs the patient is taking or how long the patient has to take the drug.
