Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Examine skin for any rash or lesions, examine injection sites for abscess formation, and note respiratory statusincluding rate, depth, and adventitious sounds to provide a baseline for indications of an allergic or adverse response to the drug. Report nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, rash, recurrence of symptoms for which the antibiotic drug was prescribed, or signs of new infection (e.g., fever, cough, sore mouth, drainage). These problems may indicate adverse effects of the drug, lack of therapeutic response to the drug, or another infection. Pain, constipation, and hypopnea are not common adverse effects of antibiotic drugs.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Several substances appear to affect learning. Antidiuretic hormone (ADH), which is released during reactions to stress, is one such substance. Although too much stress prevents learning, feeling slightly stressed may increase a person's ability to learn. A patient who is a little nervous about upcoming surgery, for example, seems to display a better mastery of facts about the surgery and postoperative procedures than a patient who is very stressed and scared or one who appears to show no interest or concern.
