Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Dressing the left side first will be praised by the nurse. If a patient has partial paralysis and reduced sensation, the patient dresses the affected side first; in this case, the left. A stroke on the right hemisphere affects the left side of the body. The right side or upper and lower extremities are not as effective.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Some antibiotics (e.g., streptomycin, gentamicin, and tobramycin) are ototoxic and permanently damage the auditory nerve, whereas chloramphenicol sometimes irritates the optic nerve. Smell and taste are not as affected.
