Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The chart belongs to the hospital. It is not the property of the patient, the nurse, or the physician.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
If the half-life of a drug is short, as is true for many antibiotics, the person must take frequent doses to keep the correct level in the blood.
