Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: Neuroleptic malignant syndrome can be fatal. Parkinsonism, impotence, and drowsiness are not normally life-threatening conditions.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: It is important that the problem be documented. Staying out of the situation ignores the problem and is unethical and illegal. It is not part of the nurse's role to obtain evidence through a sting operation.
