Answer to Question 1

2
Ranitidine is a hydrogen ion antagonist that is used to treat gastrointestinal ulcer disease. The other choices are all antiseizure medications.

Answer to Question 2

3
Placing the client in a comfortable position and having him use the bathroom will allow him to concentrate on the learning to take place. The client will not be able to concentrate on the instructions if he is in pain. The client may be tired after physical therapy and would not want to engage in instruction at this time. Waiting until night to conduct instruction is also not a good time considering the client may be fatigued from activities throughout the day and needs to rest.
