Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
The renal system has four major functions in the body. One is regulating vitamin D activation, which helps maintain and regulate calcium levels. Vitamins A, B, and C are not associated with this function.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Toxic effects of benzodiazepines include excessive sedation, respiratory depression, and coma. Flumazenil is an antidote for the benzodiazepines. Hydroxyzine is an antihistamine with anticholinergic effects and would not be appropriate for this patient. Valium would enhance the effects of benzodiazepines. Phenergan is not indicated for this patient; it is similar in actions to hydroxyzine.
