Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Thiazide and thiazide derivatives are sulfonamide derivatives. The patient should be assessed for allergy to sulfonamide drugs, since cross-allergenicity could occur.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Loop diuretics are likely to cause ototoxicity. Ethacrynic acid is most likely to have this effect.
