Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The client's response to the nurse's introduction and direction gives useful information about his or her level of consciousness. During this brief interaction, the nurse would be less able to determine the client's judgment, insight, health maintenance or copings skills, though some elements of these may be evident.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The nurse should tell the client that the drug is to be administered by application on the skin because it has a topical route of administration. A drug that has to be taken orally is administered by swallowing or installation through an enteral tube. Aerosol drugs are inhaled, and injections are administered through the parenteral route.
