Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

B
If a client, with a history of a drug abuse problem, is admitted after a suicide attempt and is refusing medications, the most appropriate intervention by the nurse is to make sure the room is quiet with subdued lighting and that there are blankets if needed. The client has the right to refuse the medication. By making sure the room is quiet and providing a blanket, the nurse is addressing the complications of the drug withdrawal. The subdued lighting will reduce unnecessary environmental stimulation and the blanket can be used if the client becomes chilled because of the excess sweating.
