Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Products containing aluminum should be given intramuscularly only because they cannot be given intravenously and greater tissue irritation occurs with subcutaneous injections. Immunizations containing aluminum are not administered orally.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Antianxiety and sedativehypnotic drugs are often useful in critically ill patients to relieve stress, anxiety, and agitation. Their calming effects decrease cardiac workload (e.g., heart rate, blood pressure, force of myocardial contraction, myocardial oxygen consumption) and respiratory effort. They do not decrease blood pH, increase diffusion and perfusion, or increase LOC.
