Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The most therapeutic communication technique for this patient is to use a calm, soft voice. To respond to the patient in a loud tone will increase his agitation. Delegating care to the patient care technician can increase the patient's agitation based on the fact that the unlicensed caretaker may not possess strong therapeutic communication skills. Placing the patient in a quiet room will not affect any changes in his behavior and may increase his hallucinations.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Orlistat is intended for people who are clinically obese, not for those who want to lose a few pounds. A patient with a BMI of 25.5 is nominally overweight.
