Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Acid-base values should be monitored, because the drug is metabolized to a compound that can suppress renal excretion of acid, causing acidosis.
Nothing indicates that the nurse should monitor for anemia, uremia, or hepatitis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Neomycin is used for topical treatment of infections of the eye, ear, and skin.
Amikacin, kanamycin, and paromomycin are not topical treatments and are not indicated for eye infections.
