Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Thiazide diuretics must be used cautiously in patients allergic to sulfonamide drugs because there is a known cross-sensitivity of some sulfonamide-allergic patients to sulfonamide nonantibiotic. It is not imperative to assess pulse, hemoglobin, or neutrophil levels.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Patients with asthma should be observed for bronchospasm from blockage of beta2 receptors in the lung. The patient will not likely experience hyperglycemia, pleural effusion, or pneumonia.
