Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

The client is experiencing an increase in tingling of the fingers and toes when the vitamin B12 injection is due. The nurse should realize that the injections are helping the peripheral neuropathy. The other choices are incorrect because the nurse does not know what the client thinks about having injections, if the client has poor nutrition, or that the client does not like to take vitamins.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D

The client is describing leg aching and the inability to be comfortable. The nursing diagnosis most appropriate for the client at this time would be Pain. The client may also have an alteration in sensory perception, anxiety, and ineffective coping, but the diagnosis of Pain is the priority.
