Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Headache is not an adverse effect of nicotine gum; further teaching is indicated.
The most common adverse effects of nicotine gum are mouth and throat soreness, jaw muscle ache, belching, and hiccups; no further teaching is required.

If severe benzodiazepine overdose occurs, signs and symptoms may be reversed with flumazenil, which is used to treat overdoses of central nervous system depressants.
Phenobarbital is not indicated for benzodiazepine overdoses.
Bromocriptine is indicated for central nervous system stimulant withdrawal.
Naloxone is indicated for opiate overdoses.
