Explanation:

• Question 71: The inferior vena cava is the major vein that returns blood from the lower body to the heart. The aorta is an artery, the basilic vein is in the arm, and the carotid is in the neck.
• Question 72: An allergy is an abnormal immune reaction to a substance. Anxiety is a mental state, hypersensitivity is a broader term (allergy is a type of hypersensitivity but the question asks for the most specific term here), and excessive is a general descriptor.
• Question 73: Oppression means putting someone through cruel and unjust hardships with disregard for rights. Bad behavior is too general, fraud is deception for personal gain, and suffering is the result, not the act.
• Question 74: "gtt" is drop, "A.U." is both ears (aurem uteram), "qod" is every other day.
• Question 75: Over - the - counter (OTC) products don't require a prescription. Brand - name and generic drugs can be prescription or OTC, but the key here is the "without prescription" part.
• Question 76: The DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) number is required on retail prescriptions (for controlled substances etc.) but not on hospital orders as hospitals have their own dispensing systems.
• Question 77: An antitussive drug suppresses the cough reflex. An analgesic relieves pain, an antiseptic kills microbes on the skin, and an antibiotic kills bacteria.
• Question 78: The standard abbreviation for urinalysis is UA (usually in uppercase).
• Question 79: The freezing point of water in Celsius is \(0^{\circ}C\). \(32^{\circ}C\) is a warm temperature, \(- 32^{\circ}C\) is very cold (below freezing of water in Fahrenheit conversion context here we are in Celsius), and \(37^{\circ}C\) is body temperature.
• Question 80: A 10% solution can be expressed as \(100g/L\) (if it's a mass - volume percentage, assuming density of water is \(1g/mL\) for simplicity, \(100g\) of solute in \(1L\) of solution is 10% mass - volume). \(100mg\) and \(10mL\) and \(10.0mL\) don't represent a percentage concentration in the required way.
