Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C
Orientation to date, time, and place as well as assessment of mental alertness is a component of a baseline neurologic assessment to be completed prior to medicating with an NSAID. Vital signs, bowel sounds, and assessment of concurrent use of anticoagulant drugs are not considered components of a neurologic assessment.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A healthy diet should have no more than 7 of calories from saturated fat. A diet with 30 or 10 saturated fat would not be considered a healthy diet. A diet can have up to 7 saturated fat before it is considered unhealthy.
