Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Bromocriptine mesylate is indicated for the treatment of female infertility associated with hyperprolactinemia. Somatropin is indicated for the treatment of growth failure, Turner's syndrome, AIDS wasting and cachexia, and growth hormone deficiency in adults. Leuprolide is used as antineoplastic agent for treatment of specific cancers and for treatment of endometriosis and precocious puberty that results from hypothalamic activity. Desmopressin is used for the treatment of neurogenic diabetes insipidus, von Willebrand's disease, hemophilia; and is currently being studied for the treatment of chronic autonomic failure.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The nurse should continually monitor cardiac rate and rhythm when administering an antiarrhythmic agent to detect potentially serious adverse effects and to evaluate drug effectiveness. All of the other options are appropriate assessments but are not the priority assessment.
