Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The nurse would question whether the child was ever given tetracycline because this drug is commonly associated with discoloration of secondary teeth when it is administered to children who still have their primary teeth. Gentamicin, ampicillin, and cephalexin are not associated with discoloration of the teeth.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The nurse should provide the patient with a calendar with the days the drug is to be administered marked clearly to remind her when the dose is due. The patient can be taught to self-administer the drug so there is no need for an appointment or arranging transportation. The patient can use her choice of pharmacy and would not need the telephone number.
