Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Seclusion and restraint are measures of last resort, used only when and if all other options for controlling the client's behavior have been exhausted. They should not be used as punitive measures.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Pain management is an important nursing function. It is not possible to eliminate all pain nor is it often feasible to simply medicate until the pain is manageable. Educating the client about his or her pain is important but is not the major goal of pain management.
