Answer to Question 1
A
Feedback:
Steroids, taken on an empty stomach, would exacerbate the nausea. If the patient takes only one dose per day, it should be taken immediately after breakfast. If spaced throughout the day, eating something before taking the pill will reduce risk of nausea. Timing is dictated by frequency of administration, and if only taken once daily, the medication should be taken in the morning (so bedtime is inappropriate). Splitting the dose would decrease effectiveness and would be inappropriate for the nurse to suggest because it is outside the scope of nursing practice. Taking the medication before meals would mean it was being taken on an empty stomach.
Answer to Question 2
B
Feedback:
Lysosomes are membrane-covered organelles that contain specific digestive enzymes that can break down proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids. They are responsible for digesting worn or damaged sections of a cell when the membrane ruptures and the cell dies. The Golgi apparatus prepares substances for secretion by processing and packaging them in vehicles to move through the cell membrane. The endoplasmic reticulum provides a large surface for chemical reactions within the cell. Mitochondria are the power plants of the cell.
