Answer to Question 1

1. Clonidine

Rationale:
Medications known to help clients with personality disorders who demonstrate rage and poor impulse control include Clonidine. The other medications provided are useful to help clients with obsessive ruminations associated with personality disorders as well as other conditions.

Answer to Question 2

2. Our daughter has the odor of smoking about her..

Rationale:
When teaching parents to suspect unsafe sexual practices in teens, the nurse emphasizes that the children should be monitored for substance abuse as a new behavior. This does not necessarily mean there is dating violence, but it can be a sign if this is a new behavior. The daughter experiencing dating violence is more apt to show signs of depression and possible suicidal behavior. If a child has a new boyfriend or girlfriend, the parents are taught to meet the child's friends; it is not a sign of date violence for the child to have a new girlfriend. Six year olds are too young for a discussion regarding dating violence.
