Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
The client faces an increased risk for digitalis toxicity due to the effect of interaction of buspirone with digoxin. Increased risk for sedation and respiratory depression are caused by the interaction of buspirone with tricyclic antidepressants and antipsychotics. Increased risk for central nervous system depression is caused by the interaction of buspirone with alcohol.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
The nurse should assess for headache as the initial adverse reaction in the client after administering alprazolam. Heartburn, anorexia, and allergy are adverse reactions observed in the client after administering salicylates.
