Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Always pull a plug at the plug-in from the wall outlet. Pulling a plug by its cord can damage the cord and plug unit, creating a dangerous situation.
Rationale 2: Not knowing which plants are poisonous and which are not may pose a serious problem for children in the home.
Rationale 3: Always avoid overloading outlets at anytime because this a cause of fire.
Rationale 4: Do not remove container labels or reuse empty containers to store different substances. Laws mandate that the labels of all substances specify an antidote.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: The client may resent limitations if he is imposed and act out in such a way to cause injury.
Rationale 2: Establishing a buddy system provides social contact, safeguards against abuse, and offers respite for caregivers. It also provides a way for elders to be checked up on daily.
Rationale 3: Making uninformed choices about one's health could be unsafe instead of safe to the client.
Rationale 4: A routine should be established for medication administration with correct dosage to prevent the possibility of overdose toxicity.
