Answer to Question 1

D
The priorities for care of a patient experiencing a seizure include maintaining an airway and pro-viding for safety during the seizure. Forcing a padded tongue blade into a patient's mouth can damage teeth and lead to aspiration of tooth fragments. Padded side rails are controversial be-cause it is not known if they help maintain safety; they may cause embarrassment to the patient. During a seizure is not the time to place a saline lock.

Answer to Question 2

B
The activity of azole antifungal drugs can be reduced by grapefruit juice in large quantities. Pa-tients should not take an azole with grapefruit juice and should limit their total grapefruit juice intake to no more than 24 ounces per day.
