Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Situated at the base of the forebrain, the hypothalamus receives input from virtually all other areas of the brain, including the limbic system and the cerebral cortex. Therefore, the other options are incorrect.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Taking cyclobenzaprine with alcohol can cause an increase in central nervous system depression. The nurse should stress that this combination should be avoided due to possible injury or severe body system depression that could lead to coma or death. No significant concerns exist with the use of antiemetics, antihistamines, or antibiotics with this drug.
