Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Provide thorough patient teaching, including measures to avoid adverse effects, warning signs of problems, the need to keep a written record of immunizations, to increase knowledge about drug therapy, and to increase compliance with the drug regimen. Immunization records are often requested when the child is being enrolled in school so it is important for the mother to maintain these records. The nurse would not teach the mother to avoid having her child take more than one vaccine at a time, or to stop the immunizations after the age of 2, or to omit the immunizations if the injections are too upsetting to her child.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Headache, dizziness, somnolence, and mental confusion may occur with H2 antagonists. Visual disturbances, tremors, and anxiety are not normally associated with ranitidine.
