Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: If the nurse administers 1 Percocet now, another one cannot be administered for 4 hours unless an additional order is received from the provider, so the nurse should administer 2.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: Red beans and rice both contain different essential animo acids and are considered a complete protein when eaten together. They are also considered complementary proteins, since together they provide the client with a complete protein source. None of the other combinations offer a complete protein source. The only solitary plant source of complete protein is soy.
