Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: Nausea is a common side effect of morphine. Feeling cold shivers is not associated with morphine. Ringing ears are not associated with morphine. Heart palpitations are not associated with morphine.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: Aspirin is ototoxic, and may cause ringing in the ears. Aspirin does not cause photophobia. A decrease in bilirubin (gray stools) is not caused by aspirin. There isn't any relationship between aspirin and nocturnal renal output.
