Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Corticosteroid therapy disrupts the normal flora of the oral cavity, leaving the patient at risk for the development of Candida albicans, which is otherwise known as thrush.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Needles should not be recapped. When it is necessary to recap a syringe, both hands should never be used; instead, use the one-hand scoop technique or a mechanical device to recap syringe needles safely. Gloves should always be worn when using a needle to draw blood. Needles must be disposed of in a biohazard sharps (i.e., hard plastic) container.
