Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
When reconstitution is necessary, the drug label lists instructions such as the amount of diluent to be added and the type of diluent to be used, but not the type of needle. The label states the dosage per volume after reconstitution, not the best site for administering the drug after the reconstitution. It also states the directions for storing the drug, not the directions for administering the drug to a client.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Metabolic syndrome is characterized by obesity, abdominal fat, hypertension, and elevated blood glucose (insulin resistance) and fat levels. Respiratory problems, heart rate, and edema are not components of a diagnosis of metabolic syndrome.
