Answer to Question 1

D
Monitoring for respiratory depression takes priority over hypotonia, seizures, or coma.

Answer to Question 2

D
The nurse would place a priority on monitoring and reinforcing suicide self-restraint because it relates directly and immediately to patient safety. Patient safety is always a priority concern. The nurse would also be expected to monitor and reinforce all patient attempts to control anxiety, improve sleep patterns, and develop self-esteem while giving priority attention to suicide self-restraint.
