Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
A black box warning makes users of dextroamphetamine aware of the drug's high abuse potential. Black box warnings do not address the potential for renal failure, stroke, or unstable blood sugars.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Drugs used for hypercalcemia, such as corticosteroids, place the patient at risk for developing osteoporosis due to the demineralization of the bone. The patient is not at risk for developing osteoarthritis or oat cell carcinoma. Paget's disease is an inflammatory condition and is not caused by corticosteroid use.
