Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Photosensitivity is a common adverse reaction with many antiemetics. The nurse should advise the patient to use sunscreen and wear protective garments if exposure cannot be avoided, which is unlikely considering the patient's occupation. Weight gain, suicidal ideation, and diarrhea have not been identified as adverse effects of antiemetics.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
When the circulating estrogen level rises high enough, it stimulates a massive release of LH from the anterior pituitary causing one of the developing follicles to burst and release the ovum with its stored hormones into the system. ACTH targets the adrenal corticosteroid hormone, which helps prepare the body for the fight or flight response. Prolactin is responsible for milk production and FSH in combination with LH stimulate follicles on the outer surface of the uterus to grow and develop and also stimulates the release of estrogen and progesterone.
