Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: While the nurse senses the client's agitation, the cause is unknown. Acknowledging that this is an emotional time and asking the parents to define their feelings will help the nurse determine the cause of the agitation and create a plan of care to reduce concern. Telling them not to worry minimizing their feelings, asking if they are in pain assumes a cause of the agitation, and asking what the problem is will likely result in a defensive comment.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale 1: Adolescents and elderly people in all cultures are increasingly committing suicide and experiencing accidental overdose.
