Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Intradermal injection absorption is slow, which makes it the best route for tuberculosis screening.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, E
When a controlled substance is wasted, the actual wasting must be witnessed by a licensed person, the narcotic log must be signed by both the nurse wasting the drug and the witness, and the narcotic count is confirmed by both people.
