Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Once a medication is absorbed, it must travel throughout the body via circulating body fluids to their sites of action. This process is called distribution. The bloodstream and lymphatic system usually carry the drug throughout the body. The organs that have the greatest blood supply receive the medication faster, and areas of skin and fat receive the medication more slowly.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C
The nurse is responsible for checking that the medication order is correct. This may mean that you need to check the order you have in a medication Kardex and get clarification from the prescriber for any orders that are unclear.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
