Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
If the patient has suicidal ideas, intervention to provide patient safety is the priority nursing action. Although establishing a trusting relationship should occur, safety is the nursing priority. Once safety is established, support and reassurance may be provided. A nonstimulating environment should be encouraged once safety is established. Once patient safety is established signs of increased anxiety can be identified.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, D, F
Alcohol, antihistamines, analgesics, sedatives, and hypnotics may cause excessive sedation and impaired psychomotor function when taken concurrently with benzodiazepines. Vitamins do not cause excessive sedation and impaired psychomotor function when taken concurrently with benzodiazepines.
