Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Erythropoiesis-stimulating agents are contraindicated in the presence of uncontrolled hypertension because of the risk of worsening hypertension when red blood cell counts increase and the pressure within the vascular system also increases. There is no contraindication to the use of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents for patients with asthma, irritable bowel syndrome, or shortness of breath.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
An antacid is an example of a locally acting antiemetic. Phenothiazines, nonphenothiazines, and antihistamines are examples of centrally acting antiemetics.
