Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Beta-adrenergic blocking agents are contraindicated in patients with bradycardia, heart failure, and heart block. The drug would not be contraindicated in the other patients.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Mefloquine is teratogenic and should be avoided during pregnancy. The nurse will want to determine whether a possibility exists that the patient is pregnant and warn about the need to avoid pregnancy for 2 months after completing therapy. Avoiding weight gain and having regular cancer screenings are good preventive care but not associated with mefloquine. This medication is not contraindicated in patients with diabetes.
