Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
The self-administered system allows the client independence and responsibility. It also allows nursing supervision, education, and evaluation for client compliance and safety medication management prior to facility discharge.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
With urticaria, hives, wheezing, and dyspnea are the symptoms of severe allergic reaction, which is due to an anaphylactic reaction. Minor adverse effects are called side effects. Many side effects are essentially harmless and can be ignored. Toxicity results from overdosage or buildup of medication in the blood due to impaired metabolism and excretion. Antagonism is a drug interaction by which drug effects decrease.
