Answer to Question 1

B
A, B, C, and D. In a volume control administration set, 50 to 100 ml of solution is used to dilute the medication.

Answer to Question 2

D
Lying flat or on the side for 5 minutes after the suppository is inserted prevents it from being expelled. Administering a suppository is not a sterile procedure; clean examination gloves are used. A suppository is contraindicated in the presence of active bleeding. The suppository is inserted 4 inches (10 cm).
