Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
When haloperidol is given for acute psychotic episodes, the nurse observes for sedation, decreased agitation, combativeness, and psychomotor activity. Insight, clarity of thinking, and decreased CNS stimulation are not short-term priorities during an acute psychotic episode.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Cell destruction will occur from the ingestion of NSAIDs, which can lead to the development of peptic ulcer disease. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents do not cause esophageal cancer, bowel obstruction, or liver cancer.
