Answer to Question 1

B, D, E
Feedback
Correct Euphoria, hyperactivity, agitation, irritability, insomnia, weight loss,
tachycardia, and hypertension are expected behaviors and effects of
amphetamine abuse.
Incorrect The adolescent using amphetamines is likely to have weight loss not
weight gain. Excessive sleeping may be associated with alcohol abuse or
abuse of barbiturates.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Clomiphene citrate (Clomid) has a 5-day initial course. Then two additional courses of 5 days each can be provided. If the last course does not result in conception, the nurse should prepare additional options to achieve conception. It is premature to begin discussing adoption with the patient. Sperm motility is not an issue at this time. There is no need for informed consent for a fourth course of the medication.
