Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Assuming that communication and behavior are meaningful and an attempt to tell us something or express needs is vital to effective care planning for the delirious client. The acute and reversi-ble nature of the disorder does not have impact on the need for effective communication. The remaining options focus on the client's communication and not the greater issue of effective in-tercommunication between client and staff.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C
Classifications of medications that interact with alcohol include NSAIDs and antidepressants. There is no evidence that multivitamins, cyclooxygenase-2 (COX II) inhibitors, or beta-blockers interact with alcohol.
