Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Indomethacin given IV is used in premature infants to close a patent ductus arteriosus and avoid a surgical procedure. Penicillamine, antimalarials, and prednisone are not used for this purpose.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The nurse should assess respiratory rate and level of consciousness because respiratory depression and sedation are adverse effects of opioid analgesics. Blood glucose levels, electrolytes, and urine output are not priority assessments with opioid ingestion.
