Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Teaching needs to be given in a systematic manner to decrease stress. It needs to be provided in a timely way and in a quiet, unhurried setting that gives the patient a chance to ask questions. If the patient appears to be anxious or in pain, stop and reschedule the session.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Once the health care provider orders the medication, the nurse must verify that the order is accurate. Checking the medication chart or medication record with the physician's original order usually does this.
