Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The used patch should be folded with the sticky sides together and disposed of in the sharps container for environmental safety.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Offering water before and after administration counteracts the dry mouth that causes the pills to stick. Offering one pill at a time without water does not address the problem of sticking.
