Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
It is important for the nurse to closely monitor the client for signs of theophylline toxicity. The nurse should notify the primary health care provider immediately if any of the following signs of theophylline toxicity develop: anorexia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, confusion, abdominal cramping, headache, restlessness, insomnia, tachycardia, arrhythmias, or seizures. Constipation, bradycardia, and mental depression are not signs of theophylline toxicity.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Feedback:
The nurse should monitor the rate of growth of the child. Children are at risk for a reduction in growth when oral corticosteroids or higher doses of the inhalant form are used. Blood pressure, skin turgor, and urine output are not altered with corticosteroid therapy.
