Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

The general public looks to nurses for information and trusts that what the nurse advises is true and accurate. The nurse should ask the patient what he or she has prepared in the home should there be a terrorist attack. The nurse should not discount the patient's fears or compound those fears. Moving because of this fear is not realistic, and the suggestion does little to assist the patient at this time.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2

On confirmation of anthrax exposure, prophylaxis is initiated with oral ciprofloxacin (Cipro) or doxycycline (Doxycin) for 60 to100 days. The exposure has already taken place. There is no purpose in cleaning the skin with normal saline. Acetaminophen is used as an antipyretic and analgesic. Solu-Medrol is used to manage allergic reactions and respiratory conditions.
