Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: This is not the most important assessment data.
Rationale 2: The client who is allergic to sulfa drugs should not take sulfasalazine.
Rationale 3: Lactose intolerance is not a significant assessment finding for this client.
Rationale 4: Standing in one spot for long periods of time is not a significant issue with sulfasalazine.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2,4
Rationale 1: There is no contraindication for use of this laxative class in clients over 60.
Rationale 2: Bulk-type laxatives may decrease the absorption and effects of warfarin.
Rationale 3: Bulk-type laxatives may decrease serum glucose levels in clients with type 2 diabetes. This is not an adverse outcome.
Rationale 4: If there is a chance that the client has a fecal impaction, bulk-type laxative should not be used.
Rationale 5: Allergy to penicillin is not a contraindication for use of bulk-type laxatives.
