Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: The client may resent limitations and act out in such a way as to cause injury.
Rationale 2: Establishing a buddy system provides social contact, safeguards against abuse, and offers respite for caregivers. It also provides a way for elders to be checked up on daily.
Rationale 3: Making uninformed choices about one's health would be unsafe instead of safe for the client.
Rationale 4: A routine should be established for medication administration with correct dosage to prevent the possibility of overdose toxicity.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Cancer does not pose a threat to homeland security.
Rationale 2: Seasonal flu does not pose a threat to homeland security.
Rationale 3: Tuberculosis does not pose a threat to homeland security.
