Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The nurse should restrain the client because he is potentially harmful to other patients in the psychiatric care unit. Restraints should be used as a last resort and their use should be justified. Unnecessary restraining can lead to allegations of false imprisonment and battery; both are not applicable in this case, however. The nurse should inform the physician about the client, but sometimes it may not be logical to wait for orders to restrain a violent client.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
When testing is complete, most specimens are flushed, incinerated, or sterilized. Specimens are not emptied into plastic biohazard bags or labeled and buried in landfills.
