Answer to Question 1

A
Antibiotic education for clients should include taking the medication as ordered, until the course is completed.

Answer to Question 2

B
Barbiturates, benzodiazepines, and alcohol all depress areas of the central nervous system (CNS). However, if given to a client in pain, excitement rather than sedation may occur. Side effects include drowsiness and residual effects on motor skills. In older adult clients, barbiturates cause excitement, irritability, or delirium. An overdose depresses respirations and causes cyanosis and possibly death. Cocaine is a central nervous system stimulant and acts by enhancing the CNS effects of the body.
