Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
The nurse should exercise caution when administering sedatives and hypnotics to lactating clients. Sedatives and hypnotics are not contraindicated in clients with heart trouble, hypertension, or gastrointestinal problems, nor do they require cautious use.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
Back rubs are relaxing and help promote the effectiveness of the sedative. Fluids and fiber prevent constipation. Coffee and tea contain caffeine, which could interfere with the drug's effectiveness.
