Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Scopolamine is used for motion sickness. The disk (Transderm-V) protects against motion sickness for 72 hours. The scopolamine patch is applied behind the ear, not to the chest. The patch is used prior to the patient experiencing nausea. The patch is not changed every 4 hours.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
People should never self-prescribe megavitamins, large doses of vitamins in excess of the recommended dietary allowance (RDA). This practice does not, however, increase an individual's risk of cancer.
