Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Common adverse effects of laxatives are diarrhea, abdominal cramping, and nausea. Central nervous system (CNS) adverse effects such as dizziness, headache, and weakness can occur. Rectal bleeding, confusion, and iron deficiency anemia are not associated with appropriate use of laxatives but may occur when laxatives are abused.

Answer to Question 2

A, C, E
Feedback:
Adverse effects include tenderness, muscle stiffness at site of injection; urticaria, angioedema, nausea, vomiting, chills, fever, and chest tightness. An immune compromised patient would not be told to watch for rhinitis or severe abdominal pain because these are not anticipated adverse effects.
