Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1,2,5
Rationale 1: Dehydration is especially dangerous for infants, and nausea and vomiting should be treated due to the client's age.
Rationale 2: Dehydration is especially dangerous for small children, and nausea and vomiting should be treated due to the client's age.
Rationale 3: Dehydration is not especially dangerous for healthy adults, and nausea and vomiting may not require treatment with pharmacotherapy.
Rationale 4: Dehydration is not especially dangerous for healthy adults, and nausea and vomiting may not require treatment with pharmacotherapy.
Rationale 5: Dehydration is especially dangerous for the older adult. Nausea and vomiting may require treatment with pharmacotherapy.
Global Rationale: Dehydration is especially dangerous for infants, small children, and the older adult and is evidenced by dry mouth, sticky saliva, and reduced urine output that is dark yellow-orange to brown in color. Healthy middle adults are not at high risk even with situational nausea and vomiting.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: An allergy to pork is a contraindication for treatment with pancrelipase, as the origin of the enzyme is pork.
Rationale 2: Cystic fibrosis is an indication for the use of pancreatic enzyme replacement.
Rationale 3: Steatorrhea is an indication for the use of pancreatic enzyme replacement. Steatorrhea often occurs in chronic pancreatitis.
Rationale 4: Chronic pancreatitis is an indication for the use of pancreatic enzyme replacement.
Global Rationale: Pancreatic enzyme replacements are sourced from pork, so allergy is a concern. Cystic fibrosis and chronic pancreatitis are conditions for which pancreatic enzyme replacement may be given. Steatorrhea is an indication for their use.
