Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback: Clients have the right to refuse medication even when they're psychotic. The client cannot be discharged just because he refuses to take his medications. Answer C is not an appropriate response to the situation by the nurse. Restraints are not an appropriate means of getting the client to take the medication.
