Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Bile-binding drugs, such as cholestyramine (Questran) or colestipol, are useful in treating diarrheas due to bile salt accumulation in conditions such as Crohn's disease. Bismuth salts, ciprofloxacin, and octreotide are not typically administered to the patient with Crohn's disease.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
High doses of nebulized albuterol have been associated with tachycardia, hypokalemia, and hyperglycemia. The patient will not have alterations of magnesium or calcium levels.
