Answer to Question 1

C
If a fire occurs, the first priority is to protect the patient in immediate danger. Next, report the fire. Try to contain the fire by closing any doors, and/or extinguish the fire.

Answer to Question 2

B
Intravenous injection produces the most rapid absorption because medications given in this route are immediately absorbed into the systemic circulation.
