Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Before assisting the physician with the test, the nurse should explain to the client. Informing the laboratory assistant or the laboratory is not a primary task.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The nurse should use the stock supply method to supply medication to the client in case of an emergency. A stock supply remains on the nursing unit for use in an emergency or so that a nurse can give the prescribed drug without delay. An individual supply is a container with enough of the prescribed drug for several days or weeks and is common in long-term care facilities such as nursing homes. A unit dose supply is a self-contained packet that holds one tablet or capsule. It is most common in acute care hospitals that stock drugs for individual clients several times in one day. Some facilities use automated medication-dispensing systems. These systems usually contain frequently used medications for that unit, any as-needed (PRN) medications, controlled drugs, and emergency medications.
