Answer to Question 1

C
Benzodiazepines are metabolized in the liver. The cirrhotic liver will slow the metabolism rate of the drugs, leading to an exaggerated response. The distracters are not associated with decreased hepatic function.

Answer to Question 2

D
Institutional constraints and bureaucracy affect the caring ethic of nurses. Positive reinforcement for upholding nursing's professional standards is a management practice that supports nursing and will contribute positively to the therapeutic environment. The other options are not supportive of nursing.
