Answer to Question 1

D
The previous patch must be removed (and the area wiped clean of drug) before applying a new patch (to a different site) to prevent leftover drug from contributing to a drug overdose. Applying the patch directly over the heart does not increase the speed of drug action on the heart.

Answer to Question 2

D
Interaction among family members can give important clues to culture and cultural influence. In many cultures, the husband is the authority of the household and the wife does not express opi-nions or question the validity of the husband's statements.
