Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The signs of a hypoglycemic reaction are pale, moist, cool and clammy skin and sweating. The signs of hyperglycemia are flushed, dry, and hot skin with no sweating.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The names of the types of isolation precautions reflect the method of transmission. For direct contact with the infectious agent, such as impetigo, the nurse should use Contact Precautions. For influenza and rubella, the nurse would use Droplet Precautions. For respiratory routes that transmit infectious microorganisms through longer distances suspended in the air (SARS), the nurse would use Airborne Precautions.

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.
