Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
This drug can cause constipation, so the client should increase fiber and water in the diet to prevent this from occurring. Reducing fat in the diet is important with orlistat. Lorcaserin can cause dry mouth but not decreased sweating. Loose stools are common with orlistat.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The nurse should assess this client's coping styles and support systems in order to provide holistic care. The other options do not address the client's distress.
