Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
To ensure accuracy and safety, the nurse should administer medications based on individual dosages in milligrams, micrograms, or units, not on variables such as tablets, teaspoons, or milliliters, for which the concentration may vary.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Selective pressure, or natural selection, refers to the survival of the fittest bacteria. When antibiotic therapy is initially begun, the weakest bacteria are killed first while the strongest bacteria, which are best able to withstand the effects of antibiotic therapy, remain. This contributes to antibiotic resistance. Resistance is not the result of an extended G0 phase, impaired distribution, or bacterial appropriation of human genetic material.

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. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. 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.
