Answer to Question 1

A
The nurse should advise the patient to take the medication with a fatty meal to enhance absorp-tion of the drug.
The medication should be taken with food to reduce gastrointestinal upset.
Antacids, milk, and dairy products do not affect the absorption of griseofulvin.

Answer to Question 2

B
Toxic amounts of magnesium sulfate can cause paralytic ileus and hypothermia. Initial maternal reactions include transient hypotension, flushing, headache, dizziness, lethargy, dry mouth, and a feeling of warmth.
Hyperthermia, hypertension, and confusion are not adverse effects of magnesium sulfate
