Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Nabilone is a miscellaneous agent that is developed from the active ingredient of marijuana. It is used to treat nausea and vomiting related to cancer chemotherapy and is used only after the patient has not responded to other antiemetic medications. It should not be used in patients under 18 and because it is derived from marijuana it would not be appropriate to use for a patient with a history of substance abuse.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
In recent years, the Food and Drug Administration alerted providers to the importance of a target hemoglobin of no more than 12 g/dL when using erythropoiesis-stimulating agents. As a result, other options are either too low or too high.
