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.
