Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale 1: Side effects of herbals can be dangerous, especially in children. Parents should be taught to check with the primary care provider before giving children herbals because of drug actions, interactions, and side effects that can differ in children. The other therapies are relaxation techniques that can produce positive effects with an asthma client. While any action can be improperly performed, the risk of danger with relaxation therapies is far lower than with herbal medications.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: The nurse and health care team have the legal obligation to report specific conditions, including gunshot wounds, abuse, and certain communicable diseases, so the nursing staff is allowed to breach client confidentiality in these instances.
