Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
It is important not to take tetracycline with dairy products, antacids, or iron supplements.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Deficient knowledge: drug therapy regimen is the most accurate nursing diagnosis for this patient. The question does not address noncompliance: overuse. The patient is not necessarily at risk for injury based on the stem of the question. Acute confusion does not relate to a lack of understanding or knowledge.
