Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
All antihemophilic agents are administered IV and are not available for administration by any other route.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Encourage the patient to apply sunscreen and wear protective clothing if sun exposure cannot be avoided to protect exposed skin from rashes and sunburn associated with photosensitivity reactions. If the patient is a woman the nurse may advise the patient to use barrier methods of contraceptives (if she is taking oral contraceptives) due to the drugdrug interaction but the patient would not be told to avoid sexual activity. Antacid therapy and chewing the tablets would be inaccurate information.
