Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, B, C, D, E
Feedback:
When assessing a client who may have an infection, the nurse should gather information about the client's general appearance; vital signs; symptoms, including the length of time the client has been experiencing them; and any self-remedies used. In addition, the nurse should review the results of any laboratory and diagnostic tests.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, E
Feedback:
Sulfonamides may inhibit the hepatic metabolism of the oral hypoglycemic drugs tolbutamide (Orinase) and chlorpropamide (Diabinese). Elderly clients may be especially sensitive to this reaction. Lisinopril, simvastatin, and losartan are used for cardiac conditions.
