Answer to Question 1

C, D
Items that create a spark such as an electric razor should not be used while a nasal cannula is in use. Oxygen delivery systems should be at least 5 feet from any heat source. No smoking is allowed on the premises. Oxygen is a medication. Increasing the oxygen liter flow for shortness of breath is similar to doubling heart, asthma, or other medications.

Answer to Question 2

B, C, D
The best subcutaneous injection sites include the outer aspect of the upper arms, the abdomen from below the costal margins to the iliac crests, and the anterior aspects of the thighs. These areas are easily accessible and are large enough that you can rotate multiple injections within each anatomical location. The ventrogluteal area is used for intramuscular injections.
