Answer to Question 1

Ans: B, C, E
Feedback:
Adverse effects from the use of a/b-adrenergic blockers like labetalol include fatigue, dizziness, hypotension, drowsiness, insomnia, weakness, diarrhea, dyspnea, chest pain, bradycardia, and skin rash.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, C, D
Feedback:
A nurse should carefully observe clients with asthma (bronchospasm can result with the use of nonselective b blockers) and diabetes (b blockers can mask the symptoms of hypoglycemia) during the use of propranolol (Inderal), a nonselective b blocker. The drug also should be used cautiously in clients with peptic ulcer disease.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
