Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1,3
Rationale 1: Slow-release preparations are less dangerous if a child should take the medications and overdose.
Rationale 2: The slow-release form is more expensive.
Rationale 3: The enteric coating may help with GI upset.
Rationale 4: All iron preparations can cause constipation.
Rationale 5: No oral iron preparation should be taken with milk or caffeine-bearing beverages.
Global Rationale: Slow-release preparations are less dangerous if a child should take the medications and overdose. The enteric coating may help with GI upset. The slow-release form is more expensive. All iron preparations can cause constipation. No oral iron preparation should be taken with milk or caffeine-bearing beverages

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Lymph vessels drain interstitial fluid, and cancer cells can travel from one area to another via this fluid.
Rationale 2: The tonsils sequester pathogens.
Rationale 3: The thymus gland is the site of T cell maturation.
Rationale 4: The spleen filters blood and can prevent the spread of cancer cells.
Global Rationale: Lymphatic vessels carry more than escaped fluid. Viruses, bacteria, cellular debris, and even cancer cells can enter these vessels. Should these pathogens or cancer cells be permitted to return to the blood stream, an infection (or cancer) could quickly spread throughout the body with potentially disastrous consequences. The tonsils sequester pathogens. The thymus gland is the site of T cell maturation. The spleen filters blood and can prevent the spread of cancer cells.

It is believed that the Incas used anesthesia. Evidence supports the theory that shamans chewed cocoa leaves and drilled holes into the heads of patients (letting evil spirits escape), spitting into the wounds they made.

All adverse reactions are commonly charted in red ink in the patient's record and usually are noted on the front of the chart. Failure to follow correct documentation procedures may result in malpractice lawsuits.

Vaccines cause herd immunity. If the majority of people in a community have been vaccinated against a disease, an unvaccinated person is less likely to get the disease since others are less likely to become sick from it and spread the disease.
