Answer to Question 1

Ans: B, C, D, E
Feedback:
Vital signs, lung sounds, therapeutic effect including frequency of cough, and assessment of pain should be part of the ongoing client assessment. Auscultation of heart sounds is not part of the ongoing client assessment.

Answer to Question 2

Thanks for the answer, I sent you a PM for another one.

Answer to Question 3

Ans: C
Feedback:
The client is taking a bisphosphonate, which requires that it be taken upon arising in the morning with 6 to 8 ounces of water, with the client remaining in an upright position. Methotrexate (a DMARD), allopurinol (uric acid inhibitor), and baclofen (skeletal muscle relaxant) are taken with or immediately after meals to minimize gastric distress.
