Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
When planning care for a patient taking long-term corticosteroid therapy, the nurse needs to incorporate interventions aimed at reducing risk of infection because the patient's immune system will be suppressed, which places the patient at increased risk. The nurse would not try to prevent the anti-inflammatory effects of the drug. The drug is not associated with causing allergies or anemia.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Many granules that contain enzymes and ribosomes, which produce protein, are scattered over the surface of the rough endoplasmic reticulum. Production of proteins, phospholipids, and cholesterol takes place in the rough endoplasmic reticulum. The rough ER segregates (rather than combines) these proteins from other components of the cytoplasm and modifies their structure for a specific function. Rough ER does not transport anything through the cell membrane. Rough ER is studded with ribosomes; it does not destroy them.
