relief is expected to occur within:

C. 2 months
D. 3 months
Answer: B
Explanation:

(D) This answer is incorrect. Therapeutic effects of the medication are noted within 1 month of drug
therapy.

Answer: D
Explanation:
(A) Cystic fibrosis is not an X-linked or sex-linked disease. (B) The only characteristic on the Y
chromosome is the trait for hairy ears. (C) Both parents do not need to have the disease but must be
carriers. (D) If a trait is recessive, two genes (one from each parent) are necessary to produce an
affected child.

physician prescribe?
A. Diazepam (Valium)
B. Haloperidol (Haldol)

NO.5 A violent client remains in restraints for several hours. Which of the following interventions is
most appropriate while he is in restraints?
A. Give fluids if the client requests them.
B. Assess skin integrity and circulation of extremities before applying restraints and as they are
removed.
C. Measure vital signs at least every 4 hours.
D. Release restraints every 2 hours for client to exercise.
Answer: D
Explanation:
(A) Fluids (nourishment) should be offered at regular intervals whether the client requests (or
refuses) them or not. (B) Skin integrity and circulation of the extremities should be checked regularly
while the client is restrained, not only before restraints are applied and
after they are removed. (C) Vital signs should be checked at least every 2 hours. If the client remains
agitated in restraints, vital signs should be monitored even more closely, perhaps every 1-2 hours. (D)
Restraints should be released every 2 hours for exercise, one extremity at a time, to maintain muscle
tone, skin and joint integrity, and circulation.

B. Discontinue drug therapy if food tastes funny.
C. May discontinue medication when the child experiences symptomatic relief.
D. Observe for headaches, dizziness, and anorexia.
Answer: D
Explanation:
(A) Giving the drug with or after meals may allay gastrointestinal discomfort. Giving the drug with a
fatty meal (ice cream or milk) increases absorption rate. (B) Griseofulvin may alter taste sensations
