Answer to Question 1
C
Feedback:
The liver is the most important site of drug metabolism. If the liver is not functioning effectively, as in patients with cirrhosis, drugs will not metabolize normally so that toxic levels could develop unless dosage is reduced. A patient with cervical cancer or kidney stones would not be expected to have altered ability to metabolize drugs so long as no liver damage existed. The patient with renal failure would have altered excretion of the drugs through the renal system but metabolism would not be impacted.

The adverse effects associated with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, which are related to the effects of increased 5-hydroxytriptamine levels, include central nervous system effects (e.g., headache, drowsiness, dizziness, insomnia, anxiety, tremor, agitation, seizures). Gastrointestinal effects (e.g., nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dry mouth, anorexia, constipation, changes in taste) often occur, as do genitourinary effects (e.g., painful menstruation, cystitis, sexual dysfunction, urgency, impotence). Adverse effects of sertraline do not include agglutination of blood cells or intermittent tachycardia.
