Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, D, E
The client will require knowledge about the frequency of the administration of the medication; if the requests are consistently made before the medication can be readministered, the treatment plan should be reevaluated and altered. The other options reflect appropriate interventions for effective pain management.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Somatic complaints are often the presenting symptoms of mental health disorders, such as de-pression, making diagnosis difficult. Depression is a common disorder among this population but knowing that does not aid in identifying the clients who are depressed. The remaining options are not true regarding the mental disorder of depression.
