Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The nurse instructs the patient about signs and symptoms that require follow-up and provides these instructions verbally and in writing. Instructions in alternate formats (e.g., large type, patient's language) may be needed to increase the patient's understanding and adherence to the treatment plan. Option B is incorrect because the situation does not indicate that the woman cannot read regular-sized type print. Options C and D are incorrect because the situation does not indicate that any family members accompanied the patient to see the family nurse practitioner.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C
Feedback:
Adverse effects associated with use of botulinum toxin type A for cosmetic purposes include headache, respiratory infections, flu-like syndrome, and droopy eyelids in severe cases. Adverse effects do not include cough or diarrhea.
