Answer to Question 1

A
CNS effects include confusion, drowsiness, and decreased memory and learning. This might affect the patient's ability to learn. Anticholinergics do not cause urinary frequency, akathisia, or increased peristalsis.

Answer to Question 2

C
The nurse should do as the patient requests when the request is reasonable. Patients perceiving alterations in reality often need increased personal space to feel less anxious. Denials, touching, and threatening are likely to promote escalation of violent behavior.

This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
