Answer to Question 1

D
The patient is violating the rights of others by being allowed to give unsolicited discourses and exert pressure on others. Balance is lacking when patients are not protected from the symptom expression of other patients.

Answer to Question 2

C
The correct response suggests serotonin syndrome, an acute medical problem requiring immediate medical and nursing attention. The distracters are examples of anticholinergic effects and are not considered emergencies.
