Answer to Question 1

Ans: C, D
Feedback:
Alpha-adrenergic drugs used to treat BPH include alfuzosin and tamsulosin. Darifenacin and oxybutynin are antispasmodics. Raloxifene is a miscellaneous agent used to prevent and treat osteoporosis.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
Terazosin, an antiadrenergic drug, can cause a hypotensive reaction. Thus, the client may experience an immediate lowering of blood pressure when first starting this drug and be at risk for injury. Acute Pain would be more appropriate for a client experiencing priapism from erectile dysfunction drugs. Impaired Mucous Membranes would be appropriate for the client receiving antispasmodics. Deficient Knowledge could apply to any client receiving medication.
