Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, D
Think about the problems that led to the patient's admission to the hospital. How sick is the patient? What procedures or medications will the patient need? What special knowledge or equipment is required in giving these medications? What special concerns or cultural beliefs does the patient have? How much does this patient understand about the medicine? The answers to these questions are essential to planning the best care for the patient.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Research has shown that those patients who are given more information are better able to correctly recognize side effects should they occur.
