Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The adverse effects of orally administered sodium polystyrene sulfonate resin include gastric ir-ritation. Anorexia, nausea, vomiting, and constipation may occur, especially with large doses. Large oral doses can cause fecal impaction, especially in older adults. Occasionally, the resin causes diarrhea.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A cation-exchange resin is used to treat hyperkalemia in patients. It exchanges sodium for hy-drogen ions in the stomach, and then exchanges hydrogen for excess cations, such as potassium.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
