Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Loperamide is taken repeatedly after each loose stool. Teaching the patient when to take the drug is the priority teaching point. Paregoric, and not loperamide, can cause hallucinations and respiratory depression. The drug is absorbed systemically. It is unlikely a 77-year-old patient will get pregnant or breast-feed so this is not the highest priority.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Cholinergic receptors or acetylcholine receptors are found on organs and muscles. They have been classified as muscarinic receptors and nicotinic receptors. Cholinergic receptors are not classified as hormones, enzymes, or proteins.
