Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2

1. If the client does not interact with others, the goal has not been met.
2. The client who speaks during a group session and speaks appropriately is meeting the goal of interacting with others.
3. Walking down the hall is not interacting.
4. Waiting in line is not considered interaction.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2

1. The medication is not intended to sedate the client.
2. Since dopamine is overproduced in the schizophrenic client, the medication blocks the uptake of dopamine at receptor sites.
3. The medication can help the client sleep normally, but not for extended periods.
4. Akathisia is an abnormal side effect of the drug, exhibited by the inability to sit still.
