Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: The degree of drug response will not be affected by the cross-allergy.
Rationale 2: The allergy is not false, or pseudo.
Rationale 3: Drugs with similar structure can elicit an allergic response in a receptive client, which is called cross-allergy.
Rationale 4: An allergic response is a hyper-responsive reaction.
Global Rationale: Drugs with similar structure can elicit an allergic response in a receptive client, which is called cross-allergy. The degree of drug response will not be affected by the cross-allergy. The allergy is not false, or pseudo. An allergic response is a hyper-responsive reaction.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Allergic responses are usually manifested by rashes, urticaria, or anaphylactic reactions.
Rationale 2: Side effects for Ambien would include nausea, diarrhea, dizziness, daytime drowsiness, and abnormal thinking.
Rationale 3: Adverse effects for Ambien would include hallucinations and hypersensitivity reactions.
Rationale 4: The desired response of Ambien is sleep induction. An opposite or unexpected reaction would be an idiosyncratic reaction.
Global Rationale: The desired response of Ambien is sleep induction. An opposite or unexpected reaction would be an idiosyncratic reaction. Allergic responses are usually manifested by rashes, urticaria, or anaphylactic reactions. Side effects for Ambien would include nausea, diarrhea, dizziness, daytime drowsiness, and abnormal thinking. Adverse effects for Ambien would include hallucinations and hypersensitivity reactions.
