Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
The nurse should raise the side rails of the client's bed after administration of the drug. The nurse need not provide cold milk or provide frequent sips of water as fluids cannot be given after administering the drug. The client needs to remain in bed, but he or she can assume a position of comfort. There is no need to lie completely flat.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
Before administering belladonna, the nurse should check the stools of the client who has a peptic ulcer along with performing additional assessments such as color and signs of occult blood. The nurse need not check saliva, urine pH, or blood glucose level.
