Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Magnesium sulfate is given parenterally for convulsions related to pregnancy. Magnesium oxide is given orally for mild hypomagnesemia. Potassium chloride is not given for convulsions related to pregnancy. Calcium gluconate is not given for convulsion related to pregnancy.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Propylthiouracil (PTU) is administered preoperatively for thyroidectomy. Sodium iodide131 (Iodotope) is a radioactive iodide that is used to destroy thyroid tissue. Methimazole (Tapazole) is similar to PTU but is not the drug of choice preoperatively. Propranolol (Inderal) is used to treat cardiovascular conditions, such as hypertension. It is not used in the preoperative phase of thyroidectomy.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
