Answer to Question 1

D
When a client's speech is loosely associated, confused, and disorganized, pretending to understand is
useless. The nurse should tell the client that she is having difficulty understanding what the client is
saying. If a theme is discernable, ask the client to talk about the theme. The other options tend to
place blame for the poor communication with the client. Option D places the difficulty with the
nurse rather than being accusatory.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The anticonvulsants mentioned alter electrical conductivity in membranes, slowing the firing rate of
brain neurons. This membrane-stabilizing effect probably accounts for the reduction in mood swings
seen in bipolar clients. Option A is the action of SSRIs. Option C is the action of soporific
benzodiazepines such as flurazepam (Dalmane). Option D: Psychostimulation is produced by drugs
such as methylphenidate (Ritalin), which are used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
