Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
Before administering amphetamine as part of obesity treatment, the nurse should record the client's weight. There is no need to record the client's temperature or blood glucose level. Arterial blood gas results are reviewed when a CNS stimulant is prescribed for respiratory depression but not for obesity treatment.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, B, D
Feedback:
A nurse caring for a client with obesity may administer benzphetamine, phentermine, and sibutramine.
