Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 38

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2, 3, 5

Aminoglycosides are nephrotoxic. A sudden weight gain indicates possible kidney damage and should be immediately reported. Aminoglycosides are also ototoxic, especially combined with other drugs that can cause ototoxicity such as furosemide and ethacrynic acid. A history of allergy to penicillin would apply to cephalosporins. A patient on fluoroquinolones or sulfonamides must maintain a fluid intake of 2,000 to 3,000 mL/day.
