Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: Amiodarone (Cordarone) can increase serum digoxin (Lanoxin) levels by as much as 70, resulting in digoxin (Lanoxin) toxicity. Oxycodone (OxyContin) has no interactions with amiodarone (Cordarone). Fluoxetine (Prozac) has no interactions with amiodarone (Cordarone). Omeprazole (Prilosec) has no interactions with amiodarone (Cordarone).

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: Side effects such as diminished libido and impotence may result in noncompliance in male patients. Change in bowel function is not an adverse effect of propranolol (Inderal). Appetite is not affected by propranolol (Inderal). Ability to concentrate is not an adverse effect of propranolol (Inderal) except in the elderly who are receiving high doses.
