Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Microdrip tubing, regardless of manufacturer, delivers a standard volume of 60 drops/ml. Macrodrip tubing manufacturers, however, have not been consistent in designing the size of the opening. Therefore, the nurse must read the package label to determine the drop factor (number of drops/ml).

Answer to Question 2

D
According to the World Health Organization (WHO) pain ladder, step 1 is for mild pain (a nonopioid and an adjuvant), step 2 is for moderate pain (a weak opioid, plus or minus a nonopioid, plus or minus an adjuvant), and step 3 is for severe pain (a strong opioid, plus or minus a nonopioid, plus or minus an adjuvant).
