Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, C, E
Infection, digoxin toxicity, and a stroke can all lead to hallucinations. Hyperglycemia and myocardial infarction generally do not.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
It is important to consider the physical space required for the person to feel at ease when communicating with others. Men usually like to have larger personal space than women. Sit upright and leaning back will give more personal space. The nurse adjusts to cultural needs of clients, including nonverbals. There is no need to stop the interview or ask if she is okay.
