Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Antihistamines can aggravate restless legs syndrome. The other medications will not contribute to restless legs syndrome.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The Cred method can be used to improve bladder emptying. Decreasing fluid intake will not improve bladder emptying and may increase risk for urinary tract infection (UTI) and dehydration. The use of incontinence briefs and frequent toileting will not improve bladder emptying.
