Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, D
Cautionary information about sulfasalazine (Azulfidine) would include having adequate fluid intake to prevent crystallization in the kidneys, avoiding exposure to the sun, and using alternate birth control methods as oral contraception is made unreliable by this drug. The drug should be taken with meals and the patient should be assessing for rash.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, D, E, F
The indicators for colorectal cancer are changing bowel habits between diarrhea and constipation, flatulence, cachexia, cramps, rectal bleeding, and anemia.
