"Read the labels carefully, and check with your health care provider."

How many times per day should the nurse expect to administer this medication? A.One B.Two C.Three D.Four - ✔✔•A. One.

"I will rotate the application sites weekly." C. "I will apply the patch to an area of skin with no hair." D. "I will place the new patch on the site of the old patch." - ✔✔C. "I will apply the patch to an area of skin with no hair."The client should apply the patch to a hairless area of skin to promote absorption of the medication.

I do not want one more pill." Which of the following responses should the nurse make? • A. "Your physicia n prescribed it for you, so you really should take it." B. "Well, let's just get it over quickly then." C. "Okay, I'll just give you your other medications." D. "Tell me your concerns about taking this medication." - ✔✔"Tell me your concerns about taking t his medication." D.
