Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Several nonpharmacologic comfort measures can help postoperative clients with their pain, including distraction, music, massage, guided imagery, and positioning. The nurse should help this client into a position of comfort considering the surgical procedure and position of any tubes or drains. Assessing the client's pain is important but does not improve comfort. The client may be more uncomfortable in a recliner. Letting the client know when pain medication can be given next is important but does not improve comfort.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Flumazenil is a benzodiazepine antagonist and would be the correct drug to use in this situation. The correct dose is 0.2 to 1 mg. Naloxone is an opioid antagonist.
