Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Unless an order specifically states that the patient should not be resuscitated, failure to attempt to save that person's life can be viewed as negligence. To be valid, DNR orders must be written and signed on the physician's order sheet. DNR on the care plan or a symbol at the bedside is not legal without the medical order. A request from a family member is no substitute for a signed order.

Answer to Question 2

B
The Schilling test is a laboratory blood test for diagnosing pernicious anemia. The test measures the absorption of radioactive vitamin B12.
