Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Nutritional status, weight, and activity level would be important for a nurse to know about a COPD patient. However, it would be most important for the nurse to know whether the patient smokes or uses tobacco in other ways or smoking cessation methods that involve nicotine. Nicotine increases the metabolism of theophyllines; the dosage may need to be increased to produce a therapeutic effect.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Baclofen is available in oral and intrathecal forms and can be administered via a delivery pump for the treatment of central spasticity. Flexeril, dantrolene, and Soma are not administered intrathecally.
