Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Methocarbamol is the drug of choice if a child needs to be treated for tetanus. Baclofen and dantrolene are not recommended for use with children. Diphenhydramine is not indicated for treatment of tetanus.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Assess for possible contraindications or cautions; any history of allergy to the drug or a component of the drug vehicle; glaucoma, hypertension, diabetes, thyroid disease, coronary disease, and prostate problems, all of which could be exacerbated by the sympathomimetic effects. Nasal decongestants do not appear to exacerbate pneumonia, rheumatoid arthritis, or acid reflux.
