Answer to Question 1

B
Trough levels are generally drawn 30 minutes before the drug is administered. If the medication is administered at 0900, the trough should be drawn at 0830.

Answer to Question 2

A

Feedback
A When a client has a severe mental illness, multiple health and socioeconomic challenges must be explored. Many such clients are homeless or marginally housed. The client's report of needing to run away from others requires further assessment in order to rule out physical abuse or assault.
B Drug addiction may be a consideration, even though the client is not seeking drugs.
C Communicable disease is a risk factor. However, this is not the best available option, since several factors relate to abuse or assault.
D Hospitalization may be required for medical treatment, but there is no indication that this client requires hospitalization for psychiatric crisis.
