Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback: Young children with high fevers are at risk for delirium. Answers A, C, and D do not put the client at increased risk for delirium.

Answer to Question 2

D
The nurse should determine that the client has a knowledge deficit related to substance use when the client compares marijuana to smoking cigarettes and claims it to be harmless. Both of these substances have potentially harmful effects. Cannabis is the second most widely abused drug in the United States.
