Answer to Question 1

A, B, C
Feedback:
Toxic levels of phenytoin increase the likelihood of adverse effects so the nurse would assess for liver toxicity, bone marrow suppression, or serious dermatological reactions. Gingival hyperplasia, not tooth loss, is associated with phenytoin toxic effects. Renal damage is not associated with phenytoin.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Only bethanechol is indicated for the treatment of esophageal reflux in infants and children. The other drugs treat intraocular pressure, dry mouth, or to allow surgeons to perform certain surgical procedures.
