Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Flumazenil (Romazicon) is a specific antidote that can reverse benzodiazepine-induced sedation, coma, and respiratory depression. Disulfiram is not administered to reverse benzodiazepine overdose. Methadone is not administered to reverse benzodiazepine overdose. Naloxone is not administered for benzodiazepine overdose.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Prescribers must continue to treat pediatric patients with drugs for which they lack information; therefore, they must practice good assessment, dosing, and evaluation during the administration of any medication to a pediatric patient. Alternative drugs are not always an option, and a lack of data does not absolve the care team from responsibility for adverse outcomes.
