Answer to Question 1

Sebum
Sebum, secreted from hair follicles from sebaceous glands, provides an acidic coating. This acidic coating protects the epidermis against penetration from chemicals and microorganisms. It also minimizes loss of water and plasma proteins.

Answer to Question 2

D
If you give only part of a premeasured dose of a controlled substance, a second nurse must witness disposal of the unused portion. Both nurses sign their names on the required form. Store all narcotics in a locked, secure cabinet separate from the patient's routine medications. (Computerized, locked cabinets are preferred.) The computerized dispensing system should maintain the inventory of medications.
