Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
If the client is not present at the time when the medication needs to be administered, the nurse should return the medication to the medication cart or medication room. Leaving medications on the client's bedside table may result in their loss or accidental ingestion by someone else. The nurse does not normally need to inform the physician or the head nurse about the client's absence.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Before the client undergoes the test, the nurse should ensure that a written consent has been taken from the client. Eating and drinking are usually contraindicated before a test involving the GI tract. It may or may not be necessary to have the client void prior to the test.
