Answer to Question 1

2
Although many drugs cause nausea and vomiting and central nervous system (CNS) depression, ototoxic drugs cause hearing loss and the risks must be considered prior to suggesting these types of medications.

Answer to Question 2

3
The FEV1 does not increase; it decreases. The FVC does decrease, and the client can exhibit increased anterior-posterior chest diameter and pursed lip breathing.
