Answer to Question 1

2. Diazepam

Rationale:
Mellow yellows are a type of hallucinogen. Diazepam can be prescribed to manage signs of an overdose. Narcan is used to treat an overdose of opiates. Haldol can be administered to manage an overdose of phenocyclidine piperidine (PCP). Vitamin B12 is used to manage the neurologic symptoms that might accompany a nitrate overdose.

Answer to Question 2

D
All nurses develop plans of care for their patients. These plans prescribe interventions to achieve expected outcomes.
