Answer to Question 1
B
Feedback:
The nurse is responsible for providing thorough medication teaching about drugs and the drug regimen to ensure the patient knows how to take the medication and when to notify the provider. The nurse never provides personal contact information to a patient. If adverse effects arise, the patient is taught to call the health care provider and should not self-medicate with over-the-counter drugs, which could mask serious symptoms. The nurse never dispenses medication because it must be properly labeled for home use; this is done by the pharmacy.
Answer to Question 2
D
Feedback:
It would be important for the nurse to know the patient's CBC, blood glucose level, eating and sleeping habits, and height and weight. All of these factors could help determine a specific dosage. However, the most important factor would be the patient's renal and hepatic function because hepatic or renal toxicity could occur quickly if the organs are not functioning properly.
