Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Although giardiasis is not contagious, the patient should be encouraged not to drive or operate heavy equipment until the effects of the drug can be assessed because metronidazole can lead to central nervous system adverse effects, including dizziness and lack of coordination. The drug may also cause diarrhea. Loss of hair and irregular menstrual periods are not associated with this drug, so these statements would be correct and would not indicate the need for further teaching.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
One of the indications for use of propranolol is prevention of stage fright, which is a sympathetic stress reaction to a particular situation. None of the other options are indicated for this use.
