Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, B, C
Feedback:
Sulfonamides (sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim), beta-blocking drugs (metoprolol), and fibrates (fenofibrate), among others, can increase the effect of insulin and require a decrease in insulin dosage to control the client's diabetes. Diltiazem and albuterol decrease the effect of insulin, requiring an increase in the dosage.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, D, E
Feedback:
Corticosteroids (methylprednisolone), estrogens (estradiol), and niacin (Niaspan) are among the drugs can decrease the effect of insulin and require an increase in insulin dosage to control the client's diabetes. Beta blockers and fibrates increase the effect of insulin and thus may require a decrease in the dosage of insulin.
