Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Monitor vital signs and assess cardiovascular status including pulse, blood pressure, and cardiac output to evaluate for possible cardiac effects. Although assessment of bowel sounds, appetite, serum albumin level, or serum sodium and potassium levels may be important to patient care, they are not related to administration of a nonselective adrenergic blocking agent.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Patients with cinchonism or quinine toxicity may complain of tinnitus, headache, dizziness, nausea, fever, tremors, and visual disturbances. Diarrhea, yellowing of the sclera or skin, and ataxia are not associated with cinchonism.
