Answer to Question 1

1

Rationale 1: If there is 1000 mg/mL then the nurse would provide an injection of 0.5 mL which is the lowest volume. The other volumes for reconstitution will require the nurse to administer larger volume of medication.

Answer to Question 2

3

Rationale 1: The initials of the person who reconstituted the medication is a part of the label and this is missing. The name of the medication, the solution used to reconstitute the medication, and the name, date, and signature of the prescribing health care provider are not parts of the label.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
