Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Wearing gloves prevents accidental exposure to the medication. The area where the paper is placed should be covered with plastic wrap and taped into place to prevent medication from seeping out. Shaving may cause skin irritation. The dosage and frequency of application should be gradually reduced over 4 to 6 weeks, and the patient should contact the health care provider if adjustment is desired.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Ophthalmic (eye) medications must be sterile. Topical, vaginal, and nasal applications do not need to be sterile.
