Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The priority action would be to help the patient up to void. After the medication is administered the patient should not get out of bed because of possibly injury due to drowsiness. Safety should always be the priority concern. After administration of the drug the nurse would ask visitors to leave before beginning the procedure, make the room conducive to rest and sleep, and make sure that both side rails are up and the bed is in the lowest position.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Another type of anemia is hemolytic anemia, which involves a lysing of red blood cells because of genetic factors or from exposure to toxins. Sickle cell anemia is a type of hemolytic anemia. Iron deficiency and megaloblastic anemias are different classifications of anemia.
