Answer to Question 1

B
A priority for the nurse intervening with a client in a state of panic is to determine the precipitating event for the panic. The nurse's initial assessment would not focus on the client's psychiatric history or involve talking with the family. In addition, a care plan is not developed until the assessment is complete and a nursing diagnosis is made.

Answer to Question 2

B
Stimulants given to children for the treatment of ADHD are usually started at a low dose and adjusted weekly. While stimulants address the problems associated with ADHD, some have side effects that can cause the child distress. The slow increase allows the physician to identify the dose that the child can tolerate.
