Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Taking certain anti-inflammatory drugs can irritate the gastric mucosa and increase the risk of bleeding; therefore, by asking his or her doctor to check his or her stool for bleeding, the nurse knows that the patient is aware of this. Alcohol and crushing the tablets can interfere with anti-inflammatory metabolism. A full glass of water should be taken with this medication to increase absorption.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The normal daily dosage of cyclobenzaprine is 10 mg taken orally t.i.d., and it can be increased to a maximum of 60 mg per day.
