Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

Metoprolol is a beta blocker. The client should be instructed to use care when ambulating and to change positions slowly since this medication causes orthostatic hypotension. This medication does not cause a rapid heart rate. The client should not be instructed to increase fluids. Protein restriction is not indicated with this medication.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

When assessing a pediatric client, it may be more beneficial to auscultate the apical pulse in the area of the left nipple. The other answer options are not appropriate.
