Answer to Question 1

C
The nurse has diagnosed a knowledge deficiency. The focus of the group should be education. The
other options will be of lesser importance within the group meetings.

Answer to Question 2

A
Megadoses of any vitamin taken over long periods may produce untoward side effects. The priority
for the nurse is to assess for problems associated with megadosage and urge caution in continuing
the practice. Option B and C are not as viable alternatives as option A. Option D: Ordering an
ultrasound examination is not within the limits of the nurse's license.
