Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Opioids and opiates cause sedation, nausea, constipation, and respiratory depression, which are the main side effects to watch for with narcotics. Opioids and opiates do not as commonly lead to anxiety, diarrhea, or insomnia in clients.

Answer to Question 2

D
Urine is the largest component of clients' fluid volume output, but diarrhea, vomiting, diaphoresis, wound drainage, and bleeding are all fluid losses as well.
