Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: Outcomes should focus first on the therapeutic outcome of the medications. The fact that the patient takes the medication is not the best overall outcome for the patients. The treatment of side effects is not the best overall outcome for the patients. Having the patients state the reason they are receiving the medications is the best overall outcome for the patients.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: Monitoring drug effects, in this case, the relief of bronchospasms, is a primary intervention that nurses perform. Nausea and headache are expected side effects, but monitoring for these side effects is not part of the initial intervention. Education about medication is important, but is not part of the initial intervention. Monitoring of serum drug levels for albuterol (Proventil) is not indicated.
