Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Soft-bristled toothbrushes are acceptable to use for oral care. Medical alert bracelets should always be worn. The health care provider needs to be consulted prior to taking any OTC medications. Caution must be used when cutting with knives or using any sharp objects.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The pharmacologic agents used to treat thromboembolic disease act to prevent platelet aggregation or to inhibit a variety of steps in the fibrin clot formation cascade. Thromboembolic medications do not dissolve clots, make platelets more flexible, or cause vasodilation.
