Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Aspirin and choline magnesium trisalicylate are the only salicylates recommended for use in children. They should not be used when any risk of Reye's syndrome exists. Salsalate (Argesic), olsalazine (Dipentum), and sodium thiosalicylate (generic) have not been approved for pediatric use and do not provide pediatric dosing guidelines as a result.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Adrenergic drugs cause cardiac stimulation. Patients with liver failure, renal failure, or respiratory failure do not need to use adrenergic bronchodilators cautiously.
