Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Drops per minute =
volume (in mL)  drip factor (drops per mL)
time (in minutes)
1 000 mL  60 (drops per mL)
480 minutes (8 hours  60 minutes)
Drops per minute = 60,000/480 =125 drops per minute

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
One of the responsibilities of a school nurse is to recognize, and treat according to protocol, common childhood illnesses. The nurse can give health counseling, but cannot dispense medications for students with eating disorders. The nurse can refer students with suicidal ideation for counseling, but cannot counsel them. The nurse can report, but not examine, a suspected child abuse victim.
