Answer to Question 1

D
Discard unused portions of drugs or outdated drugs in a bag containing coffee grounds or kitty litter. This ensures that no one in the household uses a drug not prescribed for their use or that will be ineffective pharmacologically. Insulin may be stored in the refrigerator, but this is not necessary. Discard sharps in puncture-resistant sharps containers or in a 2-liter soda bottle with a cap. Do not place different medicines in the same container.

Answer to Question 2

A
A. Emphasize the importance of remaining immobile during the procedure to prevent trauma to the visceral pleura.
B, C, and D. Client must not cough, sneeze, or breathe deeply during procedure because it could cause trauma to visceral pleura.
