Ans: A, B, C
Feedback:
A nurse may need to contact the client's physician to administer an antipsychotic drug intramuscularly instead of orally because the client is combative, refuses the medication, or refuses to allow the nurse to inspect the oral cavity. Clients who have difficulty swallowing may be given an oral liquid in lieu of an IM injection.
