Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The sensory nerves that enter the brain react with related motor nerves to cause a reaction mediated by muscles or glands. The motor impulses that leave the cortex are further regulated or coordinated by the pyramidal system, which coordinates voluntary movement, and the extrapyramidal system, which coordinates unconscious motor activity that regulates control of position and posture. Therefore, the other options are incorrect.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C
Feedback:
The patient taking any antibiotic needs to drink plenty of fluids to avoid kidney damage and improve excretion of the metabolized drug; take all medications as prescribed until all of the medication is gone to avoid developing a resistant strain of bacteria; and report any difficulty breathing, severe headache, or changes in urine output because these are primary manifestations of serious adverse effects. Although some antibiotics need to be taken with food, others may be best taken on an empty stomach so this does not apply to all antibiotics. Not all antibiotics are associated with central nervous system (CNS) toxicity so taking safety precautions need only be included in patient teaching if they are taking a drug associated with CNS adverse effects.
