Answer to Question 1

A, B, C
Feedback:
Report chest pain, heart palpitations, nervousness, or insomnia. These adverse effects result from excessive stimulation and may indicate that drug dosage or intake of other stimulants needs to be reduced. Loss of hair is usually only seen in the first few months of therapy in children; nausea need not be reported unless it is persistent or interferes with adequate caloric intake.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Rocuronium has a rapid onset of action and a short duration, making it a drug of choice for outpatient surgical procedures when the patient will be leaving to go home and will need to be awake, alert, and mobile. Atracurium, cisatracurium, and pancuronium are associated with longer paralysis and recovery.
