Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Because the contents of the tablet are toxic, nurse should wear gloves if the tablets are crushed or broken. If patients are taking antacids, the medication should be given 2 hours before or after the antacid. The medication should be given with meals.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Bevacizumab carries a boxed warning for gastrointestinal perforations, wound dehiscence, impaired wound healing, hemorrhage, and fistula formation after surgery. The drug should not be used within 28 days after major surgery.
