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.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
