Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Metoprolol is a selective adrenergic blocker that has a greater affinity for receptors that decrease heart rate and blood pressure and is less likely to cause bronchospasm. The other adrenergic blockers are not selective and can cause bronchoconstriction .

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Patients receiving TPN are at risk for air embolism and will report chest pain and be dyspneic with coughing and cyanosis. Patients with pneumonia will have cough and either adventitious breath sounds or diminished breath sounds. Patients with pneumothorax will have unilateral absent breath sounds and respiratory distress. Patients with pulmonary edema will have crackles and dyspnea.
