Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
If a nurse suspects that a patient is being coerced to participate in the study, the nurse should report this to the party named on the informed consent. When a patient verbalizes participation based on a financial reward, there is an element of coercion.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The medication should be given when the patient is at home before sleep.
