Answer to Question 1

A, B, E
Feedback:
Use zafirlukast with caution if propranolol, theophylline, terfenadine, or warfarin is taken at the same time because increased toxicity can occur. Toxicity may also occur if these drugs are combined with calcium channel blockers, cyclosporine, or aspirin. No reported change of toxicity occurs when the patient is currently taking acetaminophen or ampicillin.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
A standard pain assessment tool should be used both pre- and post-analgesia. Observing the patient when she is not aware you are watching, assessing vital signs, and measuring oxygen saturation may all contribute useful data but it would not be the best means of determining pain response following analgesic administration.
