Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
The most life-threatening symptoms from barbiturate withdrawal are those listed in option 4. The nurse should contact the physician if these occur.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
Since PCP is a hallucinogen, the nurse should not provide a challenging (option 1) environment or an active one (option 2). A room that is safer than the usual ED room would be best (option 3).
