Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
The nurse should monitor the client for slurred speech, which is a sign of toxicity. Constipation, diarrhea, and urinary frequency are not signs of ethotoin toxicity.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
Carbamazepine is contraindicated among clients with renal impairment. It can be prescribed to treat bipolar disorder. The drug is not contraindicated in clients with hearing impairment or respiratory depression.
