Answer to Question 1

2,3,4
Rationale: The client must sign a form stating that he has been advised not to leave, and the physician and charge nurse should be notified immediately, preferably before the client leaves the unit. Some facilities might require the nursing supervisor to obtain the client's signature on the AMA form, while others allow the staff nurse to perform this task. The client cannot be required to wait, as that would constitute false imprisonment. The pharmacy can be notified to discontinue the medications after the client has left the hospital; this is not a priority intervention.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: The ova and sperm are viable for 24-36 hours. If the couple has intercourse within 36 hours of ovulation, the sperm can remain viable until ovulation. Within 36 hours after ovulation, the ova are no longer viable, and cannot be fertilized.
