Answer to Question 1

2
Agencies that provide continuing care include adult daycare, long-term care facilities, and hospice. Continuing care is not provided in acute care or specialty care hospitals nor in physicians' offices.

Answer to Question 2

2
Capillary refill is assessed by applying pressure to the fingernail and then quickly releasing the pressure and watching for the return of color. Skin changes, skin turgor, and peripheral edema are all assessments of the extremities; however, do not use the application of pressure to a fingernail to assess.

Certain triggers may cause a drug abuser to relapse. Research shows that long-term drug abuse results in significant changes in brain function that persist long after an individual stops using drugs. It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.

Before a vaccine is licensed in the USA, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reviews it for safety and effectiveness.
