Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The nurse should place the instruments and equipment on the side of the examiner's dominant hand, if possible. If not, the nurse should anticipate what will be needed during the procedure and hand the examiner one item at a time. Placing all of the instruments near the examiner or behind the examiner will not help the examiner perform the procedure promptly. Also, it is not a good practice to ask the examiner every time the nurse needs to hand over an instrument. The nurse must be familiar with the examination equipment and the order of its use.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Medications are defined as chemical substances that change body function.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).

This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
