Question 2

  1. The nurse should act as the cultural broker to bridge the gap between the client and the physician.
  2. The nurse should encourage the client to speak up when the physician is present.
  3. The nurse should encourage the client to accept the plan of care as ordered.
  4. The nurse should encourage the client to discuss concerns with the client's spouse so that the spouse can tell the physician.

Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: Benztropine is an antiparkinson drug used to help manage the EPSEs of antipsychotic medications. Risperidone and loxapine are antipsychotic medications. Duloxetine is an antidepressant medication.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: A conflict may arise when there are differences in values, beliefs, or behaviors between a client and provider concerning the appropriateness and feasibility of a treatment plan. The nurse can facilitate bridging this gap between the client and the physician. Encouraging the client to speak up, accept the plan of care, or have a spouse act on the client's behalf are strategies that do not address the client's needs.
