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.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
