Answer to Question 1

ANS:
C, D
Rationale: Both instances jeopardize client safety. Option A is of concern but can be resolved
informally. Option B is acceptable practice.

Answer to Question 2

A, C, D
Rationale: The client is taking the maximum dose of this SSRI and has ingested an additional
unknown amount of the drug. Central serotonin syndrome must be considered. Symptoms include
abdominal pain, diarrhea, tachycardia, elevated blood pressure, hyperpyrexia, increased motor
activity, and muscle spasms. Central serotonin syndrome may progress to a full medical emergency
if not treated early. Option B: Although assessing for suicidal ideation is never inappropriate, in this
situation physiological symptoms should be the initial focus.
