Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Assess for lactation because antiprotozoal drugs could enter the breast milk and be toxic to the infant. The other options are part of a complete nursing history but do not specifically relate to treatment for a protozoal infection.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The nurse would monitor for and teach the patient and family about tardive dyskinesias because it is such a common adverse effect with continued use of the drug. Oral neuroleptic agents do not cause urge incontinence, orthostatic hypotension, or bradycardia.
