Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
Tamsulosin, an alpha-adrenergic blocker, when given with a beta blocker such as atenolol can cause an increase in hypotension. Therefore, assessment of the client's blood pressure would be most important.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
When estrogen is given with phenytoin, a hydantoin, the client is at increased risk for breakthrough bleeding. Blood clots can be an adverse reaction with estrogen therapy alone. There is no increased risk for infection. When given together, these drugs do not increase the risk for seizures.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
