Answer to Question 1

B
Documentation of medication administration completes the safe drug administration process; medications should be charted on the medication administration record (MAR) only after they have been administered. Nurses should recognize that clients have the right to refuse any medication; while clients should be encouraged to take prescribed medications, they should never be coerced into doing so. As noted previously, reasons for omitting any medication must be documented.

Answer to Question 2

B
According to Piaget, there are four major phases of cognitive development: sensorimotor (birth to 2 years), preoperational (2 to 7 years), concrete operations (7 to 11 years), and formal operations (11 years and beyond).
