Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B
If a patient misses one pill, she should take the missed pill immediately. Even if a patient misses one pill, she should take the next pill for that day on time after taking the missed pill immediately. A pregnancy test is not necessary. Starting the next month's pill packet at day 1 is not the appropriate action to take. Taking both the missed pill and the next pill at the next scheduled time is not the appropriate action to take.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C, D, E
Dizziness, headache, and lethargy are adverse effects of treatment with alfuzosin. Nausea, insomnia, and anorexia are not adverse effects of treatment with alfuzosin.
