Answer to Question 1

B
Yes, alcoholism may be a social problem that needs to be addressed (response A), but of primary importance in prioritizing care would be to determine what, if any, potential interactions exist between alcohol and prescribed or over-the-counter medications (response B). The LPN would need physician orders and support from the physician and other team members to assist the patient through alcohol withdrawal.

Answer to Question 2

C
Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), iron, and potassium may cause ulcers and result in the symptoms described (response C). Compazine, an antiemetic, and Tagamet, an antiulcer medication (response A), would cause dry mouth. Mylanta, an antacid, and colchicine, an antigout medication (response B), would alter absorption of nutrients. Erythromycin, an antibiotic, and Ventolin, an antiasthma medication (response D), may promote diarrhea.
