An adult client with a history of obesity, asthma, peripheral vascular disease, and migraine headaches tells the nurse she saw an advertisement in a magazine for a drug for migraine headaches:
 
  The drug was Imitrex; it looked very effective, and I wonder why my provider hasn't talked to me about using it for my headaches. What is the nurse's best response to this question about sumatriptan (Imitrex)?
  1. Your peripheral vascular disease is a contraindication for the drug.
  2. You have asthma, so you cannot use the drug.
  3. I think it will be good for you. Bring in the ad.
  4. Once you lose some weight, the drug will be perfect for you.

Question 2

The nurse monitoring a client receiving morphine therapy would be watchful for which common adverse side effects?
 
  1. Hypertension, diarrhea, and sedation
  2. Hypertension, respiratory depression, and constipation
  3. Hypotension, diarrhea, and insomnia
  4. Hypotension, respiratory depression, and constipation
