Answer to Question 1

B
WIC gives assistance to low-income women and children up to the age of 5 who are at nutritional risk by providing foods to supplement the diet and information on healthy eating habits. The other options do not address her situation because she has not voiced needs related to domestic violence or family planning, and a family recreation center will not meet her financial needs.

Answer to Question 2

C
Administering medications in unit dose packages would help to prevent the client from thinking that the nurse is poisoning the medications. The client would be allowed to open the packages herself. Promising the client that the staff would not harm her will not alleviate her paranoia. Letting the client watch the medication preparation process may help, but if she feels that the poisoning is happening when the nurse is placing the medication in the cup, the client will remain paranoid. Allowing the client to retrieve medications from the medication cart would go against facility policy.
