Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
An anticholinergic medication decreases respiratory secretions and prevents vagal nerve stimulation during endotracheal intubation. Antianxiety drugs slow down motor activity and promote the induction of anesthesia. Histamine-2 receptor antagonists decrease gastric acidity and volume. Sedatives promote sleep or conscious sedation.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Language barriers do not justify omitting health teaching. In most cases, if neither the nurse nor the client speaks a compatible language, a translator or acceptable alternative is needed. It would be inappropriate to limit teaching to nonverbal communication or a web site address. Client education should not be delegated to the pharmacist.
