Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The family would benefit most if the nurse adjusted her office schedule to be available when they need help. Asking the father for his observations, urging parents to arrange respite care, and monitoring the mother for depression are not uniquely special needs interventions.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
In the emergency department, acetylcysteine, a mucolytic agent and also the specific antidote for acetaminophen poisoning, will be administered. Acetylcysteine prevents hepatotoxicity by binding with the breakdown product of acetaminophen so that it will not bind to liver cells. Iron, deferoxamine, and dexamethasone are not used as antidote for acetaminophen poisoning.
