Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
To be legally sound, consent must contain three elements: capacity, comprehension, and voluntariness. Preauthorization is not necessary. The client should understand the relative risks and benefits, but it is not necessary to actively explore alternatives. Individuals younger than 21 years are able to provide legal consent.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The nurse should place narcotic drugs in a double-locked drawer. Narcotics are controlled substances, meaning that federal laws regulate their possession and administration. Health care facilities keep narcotics in a double-locked drawer, box, or room on the nursing unit. A narcotic drug may not be placed in a single container, self-contained packet, or in disguised containers.
