Answer to Question 1

2. I can take 1 tablet every 5 minutes, but not more than 3 tablets in 15 minutes..

Rationale:
Clients must be instructed to take one nitroglycerine tablet sublingual every 5 minutes until pain is relieved, or up to 3 doses. Nitroglycerine tablets should be taken every 5 minutes, not every 10 minutes. Clients should follow the timeframe of taking a nitroglycerine tablet every 5 minutes and not exceed 3 tablets. Calling the physician is appropriate, but the client must still know the protocol for taking nitroglycerine tablets.

Answer to Question 2

2. Compromised Family Coping related to the child's developmental variations

Rationale:
The family's ability to cope is compromised by the child's developmental variations, but the family is not dysfunctional. Hopelessness and impaired parenting are not appropriate in the given situation.
