Answer to Question 1

Adjuvant medications can enhance analgesic effect and include antidepressants, anticonvulsants, and corticosteroids. Antihypertensives, antibiotics, and antiemetics are not considered adjuvant medications for pain control.

Answer to Question 2

31 drops per minute
125 mL/60 minutes  15 gtts/mL = 31 gtts/min
