Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The client can request replacement of the prescribed medication with its generic form. The client cannot request variation in medication dosage, change in the route of administration of medication, or a different schedule of the medication. A change in the prescribed dosage, schedule, and route of administration would affect the effectiveness of the drug.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The nurse should apply shaving cream if the client wishes. Rubbing the area to make it dry after shaving will cause skin chafing. The nurse should not hold the client's skin lightly; instead, the skin should be held taut while making strokes. Keeping the skin taut reduces the risk of cutting it. The razor must be moved in the direction of hair growth and not against the direction of hair growth to reduce skin irritation.
