Answer to Question 1

A, C, D, E
Sublingual or buccal nitroglycerin should not be swallowed because the liver destroys most of the drug and makes it ineffective. The drug should be kept in place until dissolved. Patients should not drink or eat until the tablet is dissolved. A tingling sensation as the tablet dissolves indicates that the drug is potent and any time a patient's chest pain persists after using one tablet, the prescriber should be notified.

Answer to Question 2

A
A fraction is always a part of a whole number. A proper faction is always less than a single whole number.

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.
