Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Phenothiazines can cause the urine to turn pink or reddish. The patient should be informed that this is a simple color change and is not caused by blood in his urine. Decreased urine output is not associated with this drug. Constipation is usually an adverse effect of the drug. Drowsiness, not hyperexcitability, can occur.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Bronchospasm, cough, rhinitis, and bronchial obstruction are related to loss of bronchodilation of the respiratory tract and vasodilation of mucous membrane vessels so a sudden onset of a cough or difficulty breathing should be immediately reported to the health care provider. Other options may need to be reported but not in relation to the nonselective beta-blocking medication.
