1.
Doctors, nurse practitioners, and other health-care providers are trained in
how to give medication safely. Administration of medication requires a
thorough understanding of the drug, including proper storage, handling,
and disposal.
2.
Though dosages affect the amount of a drug in the body, it does not
change the bioavailability of the drug.
3.
The amount of the drug that reaches the systemic circulation may be
increased or decreased, depending on the solubility of the drug. Aqueous
solutions are available more quickly than oily ones.
4.
Route of administration is important to consider because inhalants and
drugs given intravenously and topically are usually more readily available
to the body than drugs administered intramuscularly, subcutaneously,
orally, or rectally.
5.
Generic drugs have no significant difference from brand drugs in rate or
extent of absorption when administered at the same dose under similar
conditions.

1.
Signs of malignancy include elevation; the original lesion may also have
enlarged in size.
2.
Common locations for skin cancers are the scalp, ears, lower lip, and dorsal
side of the hands.
3.
Signs of malignancy include inflammation of the lesion.
4.
The incidence of all types of skin cancers increases with age and the
degree and intensity of sun exposure.
5.
Certain genetic predispositions can contribute to the development of skin
cancer, and there is a familial tendency to develop melanoma.
1. In the assessment for peripheral vascular disorders, the clinician should begin with
which of
the following after the general history and physical examination?
1. Auscultation of the carotid arteries bilaterally.
2. Palpation of the carotid arteries bilaterally.
3. Inspection of the carotid arteries bilaterally.
4. Order diagnostic testing.

1.
The clinician should begin with auscultation of the carotid arteries
bilaterally because cardiac murmurs will usually radiate into the carotid
arteries.
2.
After auscultation of the carotid and subclavian arteries, the clinician
should proceed to palpation of the brachial, radial, and ulnar arteries.
3.
After auscultation and palpation, careful inspection should be performed
of the distal fingers and the nail beds.
4.
Diagnostic testing is usually ordered when areas of concern are found.
A patient is being assessed for symptoms of headaches, changes in mental function,
language deficits, and visual problems. Diagnostic testing reveals that he does not
have a brain tumor. Which of the following may be the differential diagnosis for the
patient's symptoms? Select all that apply.
