Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
BUN and creatinine measurements should be taken before arginine hydrochloride is used, be-cause the drug contains large amounts of metabolizable nitrogen, which causes a temporary ele-vation in nitrogen levels.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Ammonium chloride and ascorbic acid serve as urine-acidifying drugs. These two drugs can be used to increase the effectiveness of certain urinary antibacterial drugs and to enhance drug elimination in drug overdose.
