Answer to Question 1

A
Medication is applied in a thin layer as soon as the patient has completed a bath. Applying the lotion in a thick layer, waiting to apply the lotion, or deferring the lotion application to the patient is not appropriate.

Answer to Question 2

D
Iodine preparations may be given for a period of 10 to 14 days before surgery of the thyroid to reduce the vascularity of the gland, minimizing the danger of releasing large amounts of thyroid hormone into the bloodstream during surgery, and to decrease the risk of hemorrhage.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors.
