Answer to Question 1

B
Pernicious anemia, an autoimmune disease in which the stomach is unable to secrete a sufficient amount of intrinsic factor essential for absorption of vitamin B12, develops slowly; manifestations include weakness, sore tongue, varied neurological disturbances, memory loss, jaundice, and irritability. Medical management includes intramuscular administration of cyanocobalamin over the client's lifetime, folic acid taken orally, and close monitoring for symptoms of gastric carcinoma.

Answer to Question 2

D
While most people remain symptom-free for 10 or more years, others develop symptoms within months; these symptoms include enlarged lymph nodes, weight loss, fever and sweats, lack of energy, persistent skin rashes or flaky skin, frequent oral or vaginal yeast infections, and herpes infection.

Though methadone is often used to treat dependency on other opioids, the drug itself can be abused. Crushing or snorting methadone can achieve the opiate "rush" desired by addicts. Improper use such as these can lead to a dangerous dependency on methadone. This drug now accounts for nearly one-third of opioid-related deaths.

Did you know?

Vital signs (blood pressure, temperature, pulse rate, respiration rate) should be taken before any drug administration. Patients should be informed not to use tobacco or caffeine at least 30 minutes before their appointment.

Did you know?

You should not take more than 1,000 mg of vitamin E per day. Doses above this amount increase the risk of bleeding problems that can lead to a stroke.

Did you know?

When intravenous medications are involved in adverse drug events, their harmful effects may occur more rapidly, and be more severe than errors with oral medications. This is due to the direct administration into the bloodstream.
