Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Fluids should be encouraged with antibiotic therapy, so such an order would need to be questioned.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The entire course of the medication should be taken to ensure eradication of the infection and decreased resistance, even if the client's temperature has normalized.
