Researchers in patient education have suggested that which of the following efforts are useful for nurses to follow to increase a patient's medication compliance?
 
  1. Short verbal responses are easy to learn.
  2. Limited visual material with more verbal responses may be helpful.
  3. Flash cards are very useful for visualization.
  4. A variety of teaching methods, including written information and audiotapes, are useful.

Question 2

The nurse gives the patient discharge instructions about how to store nitroglycerin sublingual tablets to keep the medication fresh for use at all times.
 
  Since nitroglycerin is easily destroyed, the nurse would tell the patient to store the medication: 1. in plastic or a tight cardboard box.
  2. with cotton over the top of the medication.
  3. in a dark glass bottle out of the sunlight.
  4. in the refrigerator tightly closed.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV.
