Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
An older adult client is at risk for significant hypotension when receiving nitroprusside. To prevent this, the dosage should be reduced during the initial period of therapy. Rebound hypertension, stroke, and blindness will not occur during nitroprusside therapy.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
Increased risk of antihypertensive effects and adverse reactions are associated with the concomitant use of fluconazole and losartan. Decreased hypotensive effect of losartan is seen with use of indomethacin and does not occur with the concomitant use of these drugs. Increased risk of hypoglycemia and increased risk of hypersensitivity do not occur with the concomitant use of these drugs.
