Answer to Question 1

D
Antibiotics must be completed in entirety. Partial completion of a protocol of prescribed antimi-crobial medication can cause a pathogen to become resistant to that particular drug. Vaccinations, adequate rest, and proper hand hygiene are important infection control measures.

Answer to Question 2

A
Lantus is a long-lasting insulin. It may be administered only one time per day. NovoLog and Humalog are both rapid-onset insulin preparations. Regular insulin is classified as a short-acting insulin.
