Answer to Question 1

1,3,5
Rationale: When clients have no opportunity to talk about their pain and associated fears, their perceptions and reactions to the pain can be intensified.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: The nurse should take the client's blood pressure immediately prior to giving the medication and 1 hour after administration to monitor effectiveness of the therapy. It is not necessary to take the full set of vital signs unless the physician has ordered it or it is time for the vital signs according to policy.
