Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
When the drug level exceeds the therapeutic range, toxic effects are likely to occur from overdosing or drug accumulation. Medications with a long half-life and frequent dosing may build up in the system or accumulate and lead to toxic effects.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Adverse reactions are a range of untoward effects (unintended and occurring at normal doses) of drugs that cause mild-to-severe side effects, including anaphylaxis (cardiovascular collapse). Adverse reactions are always undesirable and must always be reported and documented because they represent variances from planned therapy.
