Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Dibucaine (Nupercainal) is local anesthetic administered topically to the affected area to induce pain relief. It is not absorbed systemically; therefore, it is considered safe during pregnancy. The other amides are not approved for use during pregnancy.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Osteoporosis results when bone strength is impaired, leading to increased porousness and vulnerability to fracture. Osteoporosis is not a result of fracture. Osteoporosis is partially preventable. Osteoporosis is not limited to the female gender.
