Answer to Question 1

A
Structure refers to the physical environment, regulations, and daily schedule of classes and groups provided in a treatment setting. Structure provides the base on which the other elements are built.

Answer to Question 2

C
The patient's symptoms are suggestive of hypertensive crisis. It is vital to know whether or not the blood pressure is elevated, so obtaining the blood pressure is the necessary first action. The most probable reason for the reaction would be drugfood interaction. The nurse may notify the health care provider and withhold the morning dose as subsequent actions. Cogwheel rigidity is associated with antipsychotic medications.
