Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
A witness is only verifying that this is the person who signed the consent and that it was a voluntary consent. The witness (often a nurse) is not verifying that the patient understands the procedure.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Balanced rest, activity, and diet will support medication management. Limited sunlight exposure is recommended to prevent photosensitivity. SLE often has kidney involvement, which would require reduction of sodium.
