Answer to Question 1

C
When hanging a secondary administration set (piggyback), the nurse should hang a piggyback medication bag above the level of the primary bag of IV solution by placing the primary bag on the extender found in the secondary tubing package.

Answer to Question 2

B
HIV infection can be transmitted by blood, semen, vaginal secretions, and breast milk. High-risk behaviors that contribute to the spread of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) include engaging in unprotected sexual intercourse, having multiple sex partners, withholding information about HIV status, and sharing needles or syringes. Transmission of HIV to health care professionals is possible, but the risk can be reduced with the use of Standard Precautions.

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs. The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.

The use of salicylates dates back 2,500 years to Hippocrates’s recommendation of willow bark (from which a salicylate is derived) as an aid to the pains of childbirth.
