Answer to Question 1

C
Conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the conjunctiva caused by bacterial or viral infection, allergy, or environmental factors. It is commonly called pink eye.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Agitation and delirium are manifestations of digitalis toxicity. The medication should be withheld and the health care provider notified of the patient's manifestations. A low blood pressure is not typically associated with digoxin. An oxygen saturation level of 90 is within normal limits. A heart rate of 60 beats per minute is typically the lowest acceptable range for administering the medication.
