Answer to Question 1

D
Advertisements promising miracles are usually for products that are useless and being fraudulently
marketed. Some may even be harmful. Caution clients that things that sound too good to be true
probably are.

D

Assessing neurological function can wait. Option C: Vomiting should not be induced when a client
is unconscious because of the danger of aspiration.
