Answer to Question 1

B
Subcutaneous = injection into tissues just below the dermis of the skin
Intramuscular (IM) = injection into a muscle
Intravenous (IV) = injection into a vein
Intradermal (ID) = injection into the dermis just under the epidermis
Insulin could be given into a vein using an infusion pump, but the question states it is an injection. Insulin should not be given into an artery.

Answer to Question 2

A
To start an assessment, Seidel and others (2011) offer useful questions to begin to explore a patient's illness or health care problem in context of the patient's culture: What do you call your problem? A different culture may not know what the runs means. Most people do not know what void (urinate) means. Has anyone else in your family had diarrhea is not as culturally sensitive as finding out what the problem is according to the patient's culture.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. 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.
