Answer to Question 1

B
As members of the multidisciplinary team interact with the patient, their impressions might support or differ slightly from the initial assessment. The findings are synthesized and used in planning ongoing treatment. The other options have less relevance or are not applicable.

Answer to Question 2

B
The anticholinergic and antiadrenergic effects of this drug might produce reflex tachycardia and/ or arrhythmias. Individuals with known heart disease must be carefully evaluated before and during therapy. The remaining options are not influenced as directly by this medication.
