Answer to Question 1

B
Standards of care dictate that a nurse must be aware of all the properties of drugs administered. Prochlorperazine (Compazine) is a phenothiazine. Providing confidential information or refusing to give an excessively large narcotic dose is not considered malpractice. Good Samaritan laws generally protect a person giving aid to an injured motorist.

Answer to Question 2

B
A vector is a person or animal not sick with the disease harboring an organism that is contagious.
