Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Because laxatives increase the motility of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and some laxatives interfere with the timing or process of absorption, it is not advisable to take laxatives with other prescribed medications. The administration of laxatives and other medications should be separated by at least 30 minutes, so the nurse should question when the patient is taking the laxatives and other medication. Other options may be questions the nurse would eventually ask, but the priority is timing of medication administration.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C
Feedback:
The 4- to 6-year-old, preparing to enter school needs booster DTaP, IPV, MMR, influenza and varicella. High-risk groups, which does not include this child, will also need HepA and MCV.
