Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: The client's drug history should be assessed before administering any medication.
Rationale 2: The client's allergies to medications should be assessed before administering any medication.
Rationale 3: The time of the client's last bowel movement should be assessed before the bulk-forming laxative is administered.
Rationale 4: If the client has retrosternal pain after taking the drug, it might have been caused by a gelatinous mass from poor mixing of the bulk-forming laxative with liquids before administration.
Global Rationale: If the client has retrosternal pain after taking the drug, it might have been caused by a gelatinous mass from poor mixing of the bulk-forming laxative with liquids before administration. Drug history, allergy history, and time of last bowel movement should be assessed before medications are administered.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Consumption of dark green, leafy vegetables is not the only way to obtain vitamin K.
Rationale 2: Vitamin K is not abundant in dairy products, such as such as milk, cheese, and yogurt.
Rationale 3: Vitamin K is not synthesized during fetal development.
Rationale 4: Approximately 80 of an individual's vitamin K is produced by E. coli in the GI system.
Global Rationale: The body makes most of its needed vitamin K through bacteria in the GI tract. Fetal synthesis, vegetables, and dairy products are not the major sources of this vitamin.
