Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The patient indicates an understanding of adverse effects of this drug by stating that his urine may be discolored while using the drug. Chlorzoxazone may discolor the urine, which will turn orange to purple-red when metabolized and excreted. Patients should be warned about this effect to prevent any fears of blood in the urine. Chlorzoxazone usually causes constipation, not diarrhea. The onset of action is usually within an hour after the drug has been taken. Yellow discoloration of the skin would indicate liver damage or dysfunction, which should be reported immediately.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
1 ounce = 30 mL. Using the ratio-and-proportion method: 1 oz/30 mL = 18 oz/X. Cross-multiply to determine the patient drank 540 mL of fluid.
