Answer to Question 1

A
The psychomotor domain is concerned with motor skills or activities. Assembling a drug inhaler demonstrates skill and is applying the knowledge gained from the cognitive domain.

Answer to Question 2

B
Nitroglycerin ointment or patches lose their effectiveness when used continuously. It works much better when there is a drug free time during a 24-hour period. Usually the drug is re-moved at night when the patient has his or her longest sleeping period because the heart is less stressed during that time.
