Answer to Question 1

C
The fascia is a thin layer of connective tissue that covers the muscles. There has been an increased incidence of a severe and rapidly progressing infectious process known as necrotizing fasciitis. This infection spreads along the fascial planes and is typically caused by beta-hemolytic strep.

Answer to Question 2

1. Folic acid

Rationale:
Folic acid may be prescribed to manage the alcoholic client's nutritional imbalances and correct the associated vitamin deficiencies. Magnesium sulfate is used to control seizures. Methadone is prescribed to manage heroin cravings. Sertraline (Zoloft) is used to reduce anxiety and stabilize the mood.
