Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Monitor patient's response to the drug (relief of nausea and vomiting).Nausea is a subjective symptom. The patient telling the nurse about a decrease in nausea would be the best indication the drug is working. Therefore, answers A, B, and C are incorrect.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Ephedrine has been used to treat seasonal rhinitis by stimulating the release of norepinephrine from nerve endings and directly acting on adrenergic receptor sites. Although ephedrine was formerly used for situations ranging from the treatment of shock to chronic management of asthma and allergic rhinitis, its use in many areas is declining because of the availability of less toxic drugs with more predictable onset and action. Dobutamine is used to treat congestive heart failure. Dopamine and norepinephrine are used to treat shock.
