Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Advance directives are invoked when patients are unable to make their own decisions. Aggression, dehydration, or an inability to speak does not mean the patient is unable to make a decision.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Lorazepam and Ativan are generic and trade names for the same drug, creating an accidental misuse situation. The patient needs medication education and help with proper, consistent labeling of bottles; no evidence suggests that the patient cannot self-administer medication. The distracters are not factual statements.
