Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Administration of flumazenil blocks the action of benzodiazepines. If the patient has been taking these medications for an extended period of time, the blockage of the drug's effects could precipitate an acute benzodiazepine withdrawal syndrome with symptoms including agitation, confusion, and seizures. Anexate does not cause cerebral hemorrhage and dystonia, hypertension, renal insufficiency, hypotension, dysrhythmias, and cardiac arrest.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
When nephrons are lost, as in renal failure, the juxtaglomerular cells that produce erythropoietin are also lost leading to a decrease in red blood cell production and anemia. Urea, renin, and hydrogen do not affect red blood cell production and are not associated with anemia.
