Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Digoxin, a cardiac glycoside made from digitalis, acts directly on the heart to increase the contractility of the myocardium and the force of contraction to slow the heart rate. Digoxin does not increase the heart rate, thicken the walls of the myocardium, or prevent subacute bacterial endocarditis.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The parents need to understand the child's behavior. The reason for stealing at age 10 may be that the child wants the item or is trying to impress peers, or it may be a sign of anxiety. More information is needed before the nurse can effectively work with the family. The parents should work together with the child to decide how the item will be returned. The child will lose face but gain integrity by returning the stolen item. Reminding the child about stealing on a daily basis may ruin the child's self-esteem.
