Answer to Question 1

A
Administering chemical restraints to clients for the sole purpose of reducing the amount of care needed is unethical. Chemical restraints should never be used as a substitute for close nursing attention and supervision.

Answer to Question 2

B
The outcome concerning manifestation of self-harm is directly related to the diagnosis. The other outcomes are desirable but are more appropriate for other diagnoses.
