Answer to Question 1

B
Dopamine would cause an increase in urine output, because cardiac output is increased as a result of the increase in blood pressure. The effectiveness of dopamine would not be measured by a decrease in pulse, because dopamine's primary effect is to increase blood pressure. Dopamine's effectiveness would not be evaluated by a weight gain. Dopamine's effectiveness would not be evaluated by improved gastric motility.

Answer to Question 2

D
The correct answer is a complete order; it contains the medication, dose, route, and time. qd is no longer an accepted abbreviation; it should be written out as daily or every day. The order of 20 mg daily does not specify the route to be used.
