Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Urinary retention should be reported to the provider. Dry mouth, fatigue, and increased heart rate are side effects, but they do not necessarily warrant reporting immediately. Urinary retention is more serious.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Older HIV-infected patients may have age-related comorbid illness that can complicate management of HIV infection.
