Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
CNS stimulants are contraindicated for clients with severe hypertension. CNS stimulants are not contraindicated in clients younger than 20 years or clients with Parkinson's disease. Even though CNS stimulants are not contraindicated in clients with renal dysfunction, they need to be administered with extreme caution.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
The nurse should monitor for nausea because it is one of the common adverse reactions associated with analeptics such as modafinil. Insomnia, urinary retention, and tremors are not reactions generally associated with analeptic drugs.
