Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Bursitis is inflammation of a bursa related to mechanical irritation, bacterial infection, trauma, or gout. In response to inflammation, fluid increases, causing distention. Usual treatment includes heating and resting the affected part. Anti-inflammatory medications may be indicated.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
When mineral oil is taken orally, it interferes with absorption of the fat-soluble vitamins, namely A, D, E, and K. Therefore, it should be given in between meals or at bedtime to avoid interfering with food absorption. Mineral oil does not have a sedative effect. Administering it between meals does not enhance its absorption. Mineral oil is not absorbed; rather, it forms a coating on the feces, acts as a lubricant, softens feces, and prevents straining on bowel movements. It does not cause nausea and vomiting.
