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.
