Answer to Question 1

B
Drinking 8 oz of water with the medication may decrease stomach irritation by washing it through the stomach faster. Water is not considered a full stomach.

Answer to Question 2

B
An acute episode of CHF may be caused by increased fluids and beta-blockers (Inderal). Gout (response D) and an impending myocardial infarction (response C) would not create rapid respirations and periorbital edema. A medication reaction might cause periorbital edema and rapid respirations, but it would not normally cause lower extremity edema.
