Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The urine can be alkalinized by giving sodium bicarbonate. The administration of water is important but will not increase alkalinity. The taking of tub baths is not recommended due to the fact that doing so increases the risk of urinary tract infection. The administration of orange juice increases acid, not alkalinity.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
When administering NPH insulin, particles of active drug are suspended in a liquid; the liquid must be rotated. NPH insulin is administered subcutaneously, not intramuscularly or intradermally. The vial should be rotated or shaken, but not vigorously shaken.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
