Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

Diarrhea and bloody stools are typical symptoms of ulcerative colitis. Appendicitis is not associated with bloody stools, and usually not with diarrhea. The teen with Crohn disease might have abdominal pain and diarrhea, but stools usually do not have blood in them. Necrotizing enterocolitis is usually seen in premature infants and not generally in an adolescent client.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

Grand mal, or tonic-clonic, seizure requires prompt management if it continues after 10 minutes has elapsed. Although IV fluids are indicated, a dextrose solution is not indicated. Diazepam may be administered by an IV slowly over several minutes, but not intramuscularly.
