Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Streptomycin can cause damage to the peripheral and central nervous systems, possibly affecting hearing and equilibrium. Hearing limitations and disequilibrium put the patient at risk.

Answer to Question 2

A
Because patients receiving diuretics often have complicated disease conditions such as heart failure and pulmonary edema, record daily morning weights for the patient receiving diuretics. Diet should be low in sodium with no added salt in cooking.
