Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
The nurse should use the expectorant drugs with caution in clients with persistent cough. The nurse should use antitussives with caution in clients with persistent headache. The nurse needs to use opioid antitussives cautiously in clients with renal impairment and seizure disorders.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
The nurse should instruct the client to swallow the whole tablet and not to chew it to ensure that the drug is absorbed properly. The nurse need not instruct the client to take the drug with a glass of milk, dissolve the tablet in water and take the drug, or take the drug on an empty stomach.
