Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Because alcohol can increase the nephrotoxicity of some drugs, discourage alcohol ingestion. Additional teaching includes avoiding exposure to nephrotoxins, particularly those found in over-the-counter products, monitoring weight closely as a way to assess fluid status, and continuing dietary restrictions.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Drugs such as metformin (Glucophage), and other oral antihyperglycemic agents eliminated by the kidney are to be avoided. Beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, and analgesics may be used with dosage adjustment.
