Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Morphine is used a great deal in acute care and in the hospice setting for dying patients who have severe pain.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Adrenergic-blocking agents dilate the veins in smooth-muscle tissue in the peripheral vascular system and the uterus. This reduces cerebral blood flow and arterial pulsing, which reduces the headache pain.

It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
