Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
CF results in the accumulation of copious amounts of very thick secretions in the lungs. Eventually, the secretions obstruct the airways, leading to destruction of the lung tissue. Parents will often comment that their child tastes salty, not sweet. Newborns with CF often present with meconium ileus but not a bowel obstruction. Clubbing of the extremities occurs after many years of inadequate oxygenation.

Answer to Question 2

A, C, E
Feedback:
The risk of anticholinergic effects can be exacerbated if anticholinergic agents are combined with burdock, rosemary, or turmeric and used as herbal therapy. Advise patients who use herbal therapies to avoid these combinations. Nothing indicates that thyme or parsley is contraindicated with anticholinergic medications.

Did you know?

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
