Answer to Question 1

A, D, E
Feedback:
COX-2 inhibitors have an impact on many body functions and patients receiving this therapy should be assessed for GI effects, changes in bleeding time, and water retention. Patients taking COX-2 inhibitors do not need to be evaluated for liver function or altered hearing because these are not common adverse effects.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Serum levels and effectiveness may decrease if corticosteroids are combined with salicylates. Dimenhydrinate, ibuprofen, and famotidine have not been found to produce drugdrug interaction.
