Answer to Question 1

B
True learning is not memorization or retaining information long enough to perform well on a specific test. The best indication that learning has actually occurred is a persistent change in be-havior.

Answer to Question 2

B
Antihypertensive drugs decrease blood pressure and increase a patient's risk for dizziness, light-headedness, and hypotension. After giving the first dose of any antihypertensive drug, the nurse should be sure that the call light is within easy reach and instruct the patient to call for as-sistance when getting out of bed. A wheelchair is not necessary and standards of practice state that the nurse should not raise all four siderails because there is a risk for falls if the patient tries to get out of bed alone.
