Answer to Question 1

Ans: C, D
Feedback:
The use of NSAIDs can decrease the effectiveness of furosemide and lisinopril, possibly leading to increased edema or increased blood pressure.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B, D
Feedback:
Frovatriptan does not prevent migraines or reduce the number of migraines. It should be taken at the earliest onset of migraine symptoms and the dose may be repeated one time after 1 hour if no relief is obtained. The client should never take more than two doses of frovatriptan in a 24-hour period.
