Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Combivent is a combination drug of ipratropium and albuterol. The propellant used to make ipratropium has a cross-sensitivity to the antigen that causes peanut allergies. Aspirin, penicillin, and ragweed pollen are not associated with this drug.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Hypotension can occur with propranolol, which is a beta-blocker, so patients should check their blood pressure and pulse every day. Propranolol does not require that fluid intake be measured. propranolol also will not require daily weight taking, but it may be necessary with a diagnosis of propranolol.
