Answer to Question 1

4. Early in the a.m.

Rationale:
Administering the medication early in the day can help alleviate the effect of insomnia. Before lunch might be difficult and cause embarrassment to the child if the child is in school. Evening and bedtime are incorrect as this medicine can cause insomnia.

Answer to Question 2

2. The belief that others cannot perform tasks.

Rationale:
One barrier to delegation is the belief that nobody else is capable of getting the job done for the client. The state nurse practice act would be considered an environmental barrier. The nurse who refuses to delegate care is not being overly dependent. The nurse is accepting too much responsibility rather than too little.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
