Answer to Question 1

D
Drug tolerance occurs when the body is so accustomed to a specific drug that larger doses are needed to produce the desired therapeutic effect.

Answer to Question 2

B
Data collected during assessment are either subjective (obtained from the client's perspective, including feelings, perceptions, and concerns) or objective (observable and measurable). Objective data are obtained through standard assessment techniques performed during the client's physical examination and from any laboratory and diagnostic testing. Objective data contribute to validation of subjective data.
