A 47-year-old man comes to the emergency department 30 minutes after the onset of a severe headache. He has smoked 2 packs of cigarettes daily for 25 years. Because of an abnormal finding on neurologic examination, a CT angiogram is done. A normal CT angiogram of the arteries at the base of the brain is shown; the arrow indicates the left PCA vessel that is occluded in this patient. Neurologic examination most likely showed which of the following findings in this patient? A) Extremity ataxia on the left B) Extremity ataxia on the right C) Left homonymous hemianopia D) Leftward gaze paralysis E) Right homonymous hemianopia F) Rightward gaze paralysis

The blood alcohol level is 0.25%. Now the client is becoming belligerent and uncooperative. In which order, from first to last, should the nursing and medical prescriptions be implemented?
