Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3
Explanation: Short-term, or active, memory holds information available for a brief period. Long-term memory is the brain's continuing system for storing and retrieving information over time. IQ is a measure of many elements of cognitive functioning. Thought content involves what an individual thinks about.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2
Explanation: A STAT order is a one-time order for a medication to be given immediately. PRN medications are given on an as needed basis for specific signs or symptoms. A single order is for a medication to be given only once and at a specific time. A standing order is given for medications to be administered routinely until the order is cancelled.
