Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, B, C, D
Feedback:
Oral liquid concentrates are available for patients who can more easily swallow a liquid. To aid in administration to debilitated or elderly patients, oral drugs can be mixed in liquids such as fruit juices, tomato juice, milk, or carbonated beverages. Semisolid foods, such as soups or puddings, may also be used. Green leafy vegetables would be an inappropriate choice based on the usual texture of the food and the inability to mix the drug solution with the food.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
After administering an antipsychotic agent parenterally, the nurse would ensure that the client remains lying down for about 30 minutes.
