Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: Verapamil (Calan) is a calcium channel blocker; combining this with dantrolene (Dantrium) could lead to cardiovascular collapse. There isn't any contraindication to the use of dantrolene (Dantrium) and insulin. There isn't any contraindication to the use of dantrolene (Dantrium) and methylphenidate (Concerta). There isn't any contraindication to the use of dantrolene (Dantrium) and clarithromycin (Biaxin).

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: Dantrolene (Dantrium) intravenous (IV) solution has a high pH and is very irritating to tissue. The nurse should assess for infiltration of the intravenous (IV) site. Dantrolene (Dantrium) does not affect the patient's blood glucose. Dantrolene (Dantrium) does not affect the patient's breath sounds. Dantrolene (Dantrium) does not affect the patient's urinary output.
