Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Tacrolimus, like cyclosporine, is not well absorbed orally, so it is necessary to give higher oral doses than IV doses to obtain similar blood levels. Increased frequency is not necessarily required. Concurrent dosing with an antiemetic is not required. Regardless of the route by which the drug is provided, the patient needs to be closely monitored for adverse effects.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.

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

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
