Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
There are no data to support options B, C, or D. The nurse behavior described is typical of
overinvolvement.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
This narrative note describes client appearance, behavior, and conversation. It mentions that
less-restrictive measures were attempted before administering medication and documents client
response to medication. This note would probably meet agency standards. A complete nursing
assessment would be in order as soon as the client is able to participate. Option B: Subjective
material is absent from the note. Options C and D are inaccurate evaluations based on the
explanation for option A.
