A nurse would most appropriately administer medication via the rectal route to
 
  1. A 56-year-old who has had surgery for rectal cancer.
  2. A 45-year-old with severe nausea and vomiting, who is unable to keep anything down.
  3. A 58-year-old with a recent myocardial infarction and ventricular dysrhythmias.
  4. A 2-year-old with a newly diagnosed seizure disorder.

Question 2

A patient who is alert and oriented refuses to take her blood pressure medication this morning. The nurse appropriately tells the patient:
 
  1. You really should take your medicine so you can get well.
  2. That is fine. I'll just throw the pill away, and we'll keep an eye on your blood pressure.
  3. Is there a reason why you don't want to take your blood pressure medicine today?
  4. We can try again later and see if you feel like taking it with lunch.
