Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Phenazopyridine turns urine reddish-orange, which may be mistaken for blood. It does not cause the urine to appear bluish-green, brown, or black.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The nurse needs to carefully track this child's weight and height because the drug can cause weight loss, anorexia, and nausea that could result in slowed or absent growth. There would be no need to monitor breath sounds, respiratory rate, urine output, and kidney function. Although arrhythmias may occur as an adverse effect necessitating an ECG, there is no need to perform echocardiograms.
