Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
When a patient is first diagnosed with a problem, education must start with what has gone wrong and what is likely to happen.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
It must be stressed that the nurse never gives medication prepared by another nurse. Even when a nurse is very busy, when there is an emergency, or when the nurse is interrupted, the nurse cannot assume that all the rights are followed unless the person who prepared the medication is the one who gives the medication.
