Answer to Question 1

3

Rationale: Safety of the client, other clients, and staff is of prime concern when dealing with a client who may be angry and demanding. Offering to assist the client to an examination room until the physician is notified is in effect an isolation technique that allows for separation from others and provides a less stimulating environment, where the client can maintain dignity. In-form the client that the behavior is unacceptable, tell the client to wait in his or her room until report is over, and tell the client that the physician will be called as soon as report is complet-ed place the client's concern on hold and will only cause the behavior to escalate.

Answer to Question 2

4

Rationale: Intracranial pressure and encephalopathy are major symptoms of Reye's syndrome. Protein is not present in the urine. Reye's syndrome is related to a history of viral infections, and hypoglycemia is a symptom of this disease.
