Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Have the patient repeat information back, show a procedure, or follow up on a behavior to determine how well the material has been learned. Return demonstration or discussion is the only way to measure a patient's understanding.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
You must use good judgment in carrying out a medication order. If, in your judgment, there has been a change in the patient's condition that raises concerns about whether a medication should be given, it should be withheld (not given) until your concerns can be answered by the patient's physician.
