Answer to Question 1

A
To help patients participate in their disease management, the NP must have an understanding of the patient's concerns and fears. The first step when the patient is obviously upset is to determine what the patient knows and fears about the disease.

Answer to Question 2

D
To avoid tolerance, the patient should remove the patch after 12 hours. The transdermal patch is not changed four times daily or used on a prn basis. The patch is applied once daily.
