Answer to Question 1

3
If the apical rate is below 60, the medication should not be given and the physician or other health care provider notified; unless there is a written order giving different directions.

Answer to Question 2

2, 3, 4
Health literacy is the ability to understand and use information that is important in keeping healthy. If a person cannot read a prescription to learn how many pills they should take, cannot read a map to find out how to get to the next appointment, or cannot understand their disease process, they have problems with health literacy.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
