Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, E
With IM injections of penicillin, the nurse should assess the patient's blood pressure and heart rate prior to administration to obtain a baseline. The nurse should always aspirate (pull back the plunger of the syringe to check for blood) to prevent medication from accidentally being injected into a blood vessel. The patient should be advised to wait 30 minutes before leaving an office or clinic to allow time for health care staff to watch for adverse reactions.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C, D
Lincomycin and tetracycline are best absorbed on an empty stomach1 hour before or 2 hours after mealsand should be taken with a full glass of water.
