Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1
Explanation: Research shows serious weight gain issues for patients using olanzapine and the need for aggressive management of symptoms with diet and nutritional education interventions. Vital signs, physical competence, or anxiety will not need to be followed to help manage care.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2
Explanation: Tell me what you are hearing right now is an open statement that invites the patient to describe what the patient is experiencing to the nurse. The nurse does not presume to know what the patient is experiencing. Tell me, are you hearing voices again? is a close-ended question that invites only a year or no answer and assumes the patient is hearing voices. You need to attend the next recreation group. That will help you ignore the voices does not ask for an explanation of the patient's experiences and implies that a patient can ignore voices. You are safe from the Mafia here in the hospital does not ask for an explanation of the patient's experiences and may not be addressing the patient's needs at this time.
