Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Foscarnet is available in intravenous (IV) form only. It reaches peak levels at the end of the infusion and has a half-life of 4 hours. About 90 of foscarnet is excreted unchanged in the urine making it highly toxic to the kidneys. Use caution and at reduced dosage in patients with renal impairment. Options A, C, and D are incorrect.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Monitor for adverse effects (dizziness, confusion, gastrointestinal alterations, cardiac arrhythmias, hypotension, gynecomastia, pink-to-brown-tinged urine, photosensitivity). The evaluation of the patient care plan would not include monitoring laboratory results (assessment phase), providing comfort measures, or assessing for drugdrug interactions (implementation phase).
