Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Adverse effects associated with antidiarrheal drugs, such as constipation, distention, abdominal discomfort, nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, and even toxic megacolon, are related to their effects on the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Other adverse effects that have been reported include fatigue (option A), weakness, dizziness, and rash. options B, C, and D are not correct.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Have a peripheral nerve stimulator on standby to assess the degree of neuromuscular blockade, if appropriate. Vital signs can indicate degree of sedation and assess pain sensation, but they are not an indicator of the degree of neuromuscular blockade. Response to painful stimuli would be more of an indication of effects of sedation and/or analgesic than degree of muscular blockade. Any neuromuscular junction blockage would reduce or eliminate reflexes so it would not be a means of assessing degree of blockage.
