Answer to Question 1

C, E, F
Feedback:
The nurse should work from the top to the bottom of the MAR when setting up medications to prevent omitting any medication. The nurse should also set up medications for one client at a time, compare each medication label with the MAR to make sure they are identical, read the medication package at least three times, bring scissors to the bedside to open unit doses, and save opening unit doses until ready to give the medicine.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
A greenstick fracture is one in which one side of the bone breaks, while the other side bends. A depressed fracture is one in which bone splinters are driven into underlying tissue. A compression fracture is one in which the bone collapses in on itself. An oblique fracture is a fracture of the bone in which the direction of the fracture line is in an oblique direction.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).

Many people have small pouches in their colons that bulge outward through weak spots. Each pouch is called a diverticulum.
