Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
Anthelmintic drugs are contraindicated in patients who are pregnant. Quinine, not anthelmintic drugs, should not be prescribed for patients with myasthenia gravis. Anthelmintic drugs are not known to be contraindicated in patients with clinical depression or in children younger than 15.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Feedback:
The nurse should instruct the patient to avoid driving or performing other hazardous tasks requiring alertness if drowsiness or dizziness occurs. The tablet should not be cut in two or chewed. The drug should also not be taken with an antacid because of a decrease in absorption. Abdominal pain and fever should be reported to the primary health care provider immediately, not ignored.
