Answer to Question 1

A
A toxic effect occurs when the body cannot metabolize a drug and the drug accumulates in the blood.

Answer to Question 2

A
The purpose of assessment is to establish a database about a client. From these data, the nurse can identify client strengths and limitations that can affect treatment and recovery. Nursing diagnosis, the second step of the nursing process, involves the analysis and synthesis of data gathered during the assessment phase to represent a clinical judgment about a client's responses to actual or potential health problems or life processes. A nursing diagnosis provides the basis for choosing nursing interventions to achieve desired client outcomes.
