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.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
