Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2, 4
Hypotension and tachycardia are possible side effects of dronabinol (Marinol). A urine output of 50 mL/hr is normal. Extreme hunger and oxygen saturation of 96 on room air are not adverse effects of dronabinol (Marinol).

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2, 4
The peptic ulcers of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome may affect any portion of the stomach or duodenum, as well as the esophagus or jejunum. Characteristic ulcerlike pain is common. The high levels of hydrochloric acid entering the duodenum may cause diarrhea and steatorrhea (excess fat in the feces) from impaired fat digestion and absorption. Nausea, belching, and abdominal pain are not manifestations of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
