Answer to Question 1

4
The chart belongs to the hospital. It is not the property of the patient, the nurse, or the physician.

Answer to Question 2

3
Barbiturates have a long duration of action and are used for their sedative effect on the brain. They also raise the seizure threshold, preventing the level of activity that produces the seizure.
