Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Combining nondepolarizing NMJ blockers with aminoglycosides can result in prolonged paralysis, and this combination should be avoided. This interaction does not occur with barbiturate anesthetics, cephalosporins, or aminophylline.

Answer to Question 2

B, C, E
Feedback:
A saliva substitute helps in conditions that result in dry mouthstroke, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and other illnesses. Patients with myocardial infarction do not require this drug. Patients with cystic fibrosis receive pancreatic enzymes rather than saliva substitute.
