Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Although important, the pulmonary system is not the priority system for assessment with efavirenz.
Rationale 2: CNSadverse effects are observed in at least 50 of the clients when first starting therapy with efavirenz.
Rationale 3: Although important, the GI system is not the priority system for assessment with efavirenz.
Rationale 4: Although important, the cardiac system is not the priority system for assessment with efavirenz.
Global Rationale: Although assessment of all systems is important, adverse effects are most commonly found in the CNS system.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Benign tumors are slow growing, remain localized, and rarely cause death.
Rationale 2: Malignant tumors are not slow growing, but they are invasive and can kill the host.
Rationale 3: Benign tumors are slow growing but remain localized.
Rationale 4: Malignant tumors grow rapidly, are invasive, and can kill the host.
Global Rationale: Whereas benign tumors are usually slow growing, remain localized, and rarely cause death, malignant tumors are rapidly growing, invasive, and will kill the host if left untreated.
