Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: Administering medication to the right patient should be checked by verifying the patient's ID and using any other appropriate method, e.g., verifying the patient's date of birth. The medication type, dosage, and time to be administered should be verified using the medication orders. Documentation should always include all essential information about the patient, the prescriber and the medication.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4
Explanation: All side effects must be recorded and reported, but those that the nurse should report immediately include altered mental status (such as decreased level of consciousness or delirium), hypersensitivity responses, changes in gastrointestinal function, and changes in personality or behavior.
