Answer to Question 1

B
The dorsogluteal in the site of choice when administering a medication using the Z-track method. The Z-track method prevents the medication from traveling back up the needle track. It does not require the site to be rubbed or wiped after administration.

Answer to Question 2

A
Angina pectoris, substernal pain that usually radiates to the left shoulder and down the left arm, is caused by inadequate blood and oxygen supply to the heart. Although some ischemic attacks are painless, attacks of pain can occur with physical exertion, emotional stress, heavy meals, exposure to extreme cold, and smoking, and they usually increase in frequency and severity over time.
