Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Question antibiotic orders that prescribe aminoglycosides or tetracycline when neuromuscular blockers have been used. These drugs may potentiate the neuromuscular-blocking activity. This combination of medications would not cause deep sedation. Neuromuscular-blocking agents do not decrease the effectiveness of antibiotics or increase sensitivity to antibiotics.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Patients taking neuromuscular-blocking agents should be monitored closely for clinical signs of hypoxia and hypercapnia (tachycardia, hypotension, cyanosis). ABG levels may be determined to confirm the clinical observations. Blood glucose levels, CBC, and liver function tests would not be indicated with these symptoms.
