Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
The nurse should monitor for tingling in the client as an adverse reaction to the drug niacin. Constipation, diarrhea, and cholelithiasis are adverse reactions to the drug fenofibrate.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
When preparing a teaching plan for the client receiving the fibric acid derivative gemfibrozil, the nurse should instruct the client to observe caution while driving. Rosuvastatin calcium is taken as a single dose once daily in the evening. The nurse instructs a client prescribed nicotinic acid to take it along with meals; it may also cause mild to severe facial flushing.
