Answer to Question 1

D, B, C, A

When a patient suffers a traumatic wound, first aid interventions include promoting hemostasis, cleansing the wound, and protecting the wound from further injury.

Answer to Question 2

D
All medications have a biologic half-life, which is the time it takes for the body to lower the amount of unchanged medication by half. A drug with a short half-life (e.g., 2 to 3 hours) needs to be given more frequently than a drug with a longer half-life (e.g., 10 to 12 hours). A medication's half-life does not change with the dose of the medication; its half-life is always the same no matter how much medication is administered.
