Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) identifies drugs that when used in error have a heightened risk of causing significant patient harm. Such drugs are not limited to physician or advanced practice nurse administration. The drug would have completed the testing and approval procedure and administration does not necessarily require a cosignature.
