Answer to Question 1

D
Although each of the questions has relevance to the client's sexual history, option D directly relates
to sexual function.

Answer to Question 2

D
Hyperpyrexia and convulsions are common when a client has overdosed on a CNS stimulant. These
problems are life threatening and take priority. Option A: Lavage is not needed when the drug was
injected. Option B: Acidification of urine will not enhance drug clearance. Option C: Problems of
nutrition and elimination are not priorities in an overdose situation.
