Answer to Question 1

D
Toxic effects are capable of causing injury or death. They often develop after prolonged intake of a medication or when a medication accumulates in the blood because of impaired metabolism or excretion. A side effect is a predictable and often unavoidable adverse effect produced at a usual therapeutic dose. Undesired, unintended, and often unpredictable responses to medication are referred to as adverse effects. Each medication has a therapeutic effect, the intended or desired physiological response of a medication.

Answer to Question 2

D
For the patient who does not have voluntary motor controls, passive range-of-motion exercises are the exercises of choice. Because of limited voluntary motor control, active range of motion exercises, aerobic exercises, and weight-bearing exercises are incorrect responses for this patient.
