Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The nurse's thorough patient teaching must include the name of the drug, dosage prescribed, measures to avoid adverse effects, warning signs of problems, and the need for periodic monitoring and evaluation. Hemophilia A is an X-linked recessive disorder that primarily affects males. Approximately 90 of persons with hemophilia produce insufficient quantities of the factor VIII. The prevention of trauma is important in people with hemophilia. The other options are incorrect.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Fluoroquinolones are contraindicated in patients who are younger than 18 years of age. Levofloxacin is the only fluoroquinolone among the answer options and is contraindicated for pediatric patients under age 18.
