Answer to Question 1

A
A drug can produce a systemic effect (acting on the body as a whole); a local effect (acting only on a particular tissue or organ); or both local and systemic effects. Drugs administered parenterally provide the quickest onset of action for a systemic effect.

Answer to Question 2

C
Narrative charting is the traditional method of nursing documentation, including descriptions of a client's status, interventions, and treatments. The client's response to treatment is written chronologically in paragraph form. This type of charting is now being replaced by other formats that better reflect the flow of care and the nursing processes that are less time-consuming and subjective. In source-oriented charting, members of each health care team discipline write entries on separate records. Because it is unstructured, this type of charting shares many of the disadvantages of narrative charting and makes communication about client progress more difficult.
