Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
With a new diagnosis of HIV, it is important for the nurse to assess the patient for use of alternative therapies because some alternative therapies are contraindicated while on antiviral medication. Options A and D are negative statements that discourage the patient from sharing information with the nurse. Option B gives the patient information, but does not elicit information in return and is therefore inappropriate for the nurse to use.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Meclizine (Antivert) is the drug of choice to treat motion sickness associated with an ocean voyage. Options B, C, and D are not correct.
