Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
The most current information will be found on the CDC Web site because new information can be posted immediately whereas textbooks and journal articles take time to print. Coworkers may or may not remain current on emergency preparedness and should not be the primary source of information.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The priority to monitor is respiratory status. One of the primary adverse effects of this drug is central nervous system (CNS) depression. If the patient receives too much medication, or reaches toxic levels, respiratory rate will decline as the result of excessive CNS depression and the drug dosage will either be adjusted downward or the drug may be held until the patient's respirations improve. Monitoring other vital signs including blood pressure and pulse is indicated but is not the priority.
