Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
To be sure the pancreatic enzymes are in place when food enters the small bowel the enzymes are administered with every meal and snack. Administering them before or after meals would render them ineffective.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Succinylcholine is associated with muscle pain, related to the initial muscle contraction reaction. A nondepolarizing neuromuscular junction blocker may be given first to prevent some of these contractions and the associated discomfort. Aspirin also alleviates much of this pain after the procedure. Tylenol is not an antiinflammatory medication and would not be appropriate. Toradol and morphine provide stronger pain relief than what is indicated for this discomfort.
