Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, D, E
Premedication assessment prior to apomorphine therapy should include baseline vital signs, patient's degree of mobility, alertness, and orientation to name, place, and time. It is not necessary to assess intellectual ability prior to apomorphine therapy.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Withdrawal from medication should be done under a health care provider's supervision. Withdrawal usually takes 4 weeks and requires a gradual reduction in dosage and greater intervals between medication administrations. One week is an inadequate interval for cessation of antianxiety medication therapy. Six months to 1 year is much longer than necessary for cessation of antianxiety medication therapy.
