Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: The nurse should expect that 100 mg/dL is the minimum blood alcohol level at which intoxication occurs. Intoxication usually occurs between 100 and 200 mg/dL. Death has been reported at levels ranging from 400 to 700 mg/dL.

Answer to Question 2

A
The technician is engaging in assault, which is any act that threatens a client. Battery of a client occurs when any physical act of touching occurs without the client's permission. Privacy refers to issues related to the body and confidentiality, and fraud is giving false information.
