Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Mild pain is rated as being from 1 to 3 on a 0 to 10 rating scale.

Rationale 4: Physiological pain does not describe the intensity of the client's pain.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: It is documented that the use of antacids can reduce the risk of gastric distress, but can also reduce the absorption and the effectiveness of the medication.
Rationale 2: Antacids can reduce the likelihood of gastric bleeding however will interfere with the absorption of the medication in the client.
Rationale 3: This statement is not correct.
Rationale 4: Antacids may reduce the pain associated with gastric distress however antacids are not a category of pain medication.
