Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Offer frequent sips of water or use of sugarless hard candy to alleviate dry mouth because antispasmodics have anticholinergic effects that cause dry mouth. The use of hot water for showers will not cause the patient any danger. Urinary antispasmodics do not cause changes in the sclera. This patient has an issue with bladder spasms and not a urinary tract infection.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Absence seizures are characterized by abrupt alterations in consciousness that last only a few seconds. Characteristics of an absence seizure do not include automatic and repetitive movements, abnormal movements and bizarre behavior, or sustained contraction of skeletal muscle.
