Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Goserelin is administered via subcutaneous injection. The other actions are not related to self-management while on this medication.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic, and hyperkalemia can cause cardiac dysrhythmias. The nurse's priority is to obtain an ECG, then to facilitate a serum potassium level being drawn. Having the client lie down and obtaining vital signs are also important care measures, but do not take priority.
